"Ampuero leads the international wave of Ecuadorian writers." --New York Times en Español "Ampuero writes with steely nerves and an ear for the beauty of simple, concrete language--not a word feels out of place." --Kirkus Reviews "Grotesque, unflinching. . . .This will appeal to fans of unrepentant feminist fiction." --Publishers Weekly "Deftly written with spare, exacting prose, Cockfight. . . .presents searing portraits of family life." --Latino Book Review "Wielded like a righteous cudgel against exploitative power, this Ecuadorian debut makes no bones about its intentions from the get-go. . . . Ampuero fights dirty and, frankly, that's just the sort of writer we need." --Center for the Art of Translation "Through sparing prose and exacting detail, with no time for decoration or pomp, Ampuero delivers timeless feminist fiction that packs a punch and sticks with you like tar." --Sounds and Colors "Heralding a brutal and singular new voice, Cockfight explores the power of the home to both create and destroy those within it." --Independent Book Review "Ampuero's literary voice is tough and beautiful at once: her stories are exquisite and dangerous objects." --Yuri Herrera, author of Signs Preceding the End of the World "This is true literary horror that doesn't tip into slasher territory, with confrontational, vivid characters." --Mslexia "Brutal! Very intense." --Mariana Enríquez, author of Things We Lost in the Fire "María Fernanda Ampuero's voice is urgent, intimate, lyrical while never forgetting to cast humor during the darkest of violent moments. This is a writer of great power that the entire Americas will have to deal with for decades to come." --Ernesto Quiñonez, author of Bodega Dreams "The stories in Ampuero's Cockfight vibrate with a singular voice, building a fictional universe dominated by violence and explorations of both power dynamics and exploitation. Ampuero's brutal and animalistic prose haunted me. I can't stop thinking about this book." --Cristina Rodriguez, Deep Vellum Books, "Ampuero leads the international wave of Ecuadorian writers." --New York Times en Español "Ampuero writes with steely nerves and an ear for the beauty of simple, concrete language--not a word feels out of place." --Kirkus Reviews "Grotesque, unflinching. . . .

Excellent! Retrostar Music is a very fair seller - they gave me a 5% discount on top of an already great price! They also communicated the status of my order quite frequently. The CD I ordered came in a box with plenty of wrapping paper to ensure it would not get beaten up in shipping. Usually sellers just send CDs in envelopes, so I was pleasantly surprised when this arrived in a box. The CD itself is in perfect condition. A+ experience! I would highly recommend this seller!

"Moneyball" is an old/new movie/DVD that I haven't seen. "Retrostar Music" as seller had some of Mr. Pitts movies & this was labelled "New", I decided to purchase it. The seller sent all I ordered with FREE shipping &discounted the price of all as well. It took less than a week - six days - for my complete order to arrive & they were all carefully packaged & arrived in two boxes. If I ever have a question regarding what else is in the seller's inventory, I always receive a very prompt reply.
