Amarilis

the long version

"In this book, instead of allowing himself to be overwhelmed by the monumental figure of Lope de Vega, Sarabia has the wisdom to recruit the classical master as his ally and thereby give shape, in audacious and memorable prose, to a major novel that adroitly combines modernity with a respect for tradition. In short, here we have an object lesson on channels that the literature of the coming century can properly direct itself into." José Manuel Fajardo
