Love-fifteen
"Translation of Chilean author's Match ball, a Lolita-esque story of a middle-aged man's obsession with a teenage tennis star. Told in first person, novel's black humor is set among the European upper classes, with cosmopolitan, especially German and Spanish, cultural references. Competent translation by Tittler. Back-cover notes; no other locating material"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
Patient
"Appropriately colloquial, idiomatic translation of prolific Argentine writer's novel Soy paciente. A humerous satire on the state's health care system, novel may remind readers of Ken Kesey's One flew over the cuckoo's nest. No accompanying materials, which is unfortunate since Shua's work is not yet well known in English"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
