Adventurous ... Reyes leads the reader through singular, surreal experiences to a deeper, truer understanding of the real lives of Central Americans ... While "Variations on Your Migrant Life" is worth the price of admission, its great power means that the rest of the collection can struggle to step out from its shadow.
Scintillating ... The volume is shot through with genuine pathos and astute social commentary, and Reyes shifts effortlessly from absurdism to satire to sci-fi.
