[Alfredo] Véa dives into magical realism headfirst in this hallucinatory fantasy that reads like a blend of John Steinbeck and Robert AHeinlein. It's a dizzying novel that combines Véa's solid prose style with a vivid imagination and an authentic cultural brio. A lush fantasy in which a man must unwind time itself to right the world's wrongs."" - Kirkus Reviews
""With heart, imagination, and wit, Alfredo Véa gives us a rollicking tale of magical realism and science fiction, historical acuity and human truths. If Gabriel García Márquez were to magically collaborate with E. L. Doctorow, Luis Alberto Urrea, and Ray Bradbury, the result would be something as delightfully moving as The Mexican Flyboy."" - Rilla Askew, author of Fire in Beulah and Kind of Kin
""Alfredo Véa writes with the pen of a magician, the heart of a saint, and a truth seeker's passion for justice. I'm in awe of this brilliant and moving novel."" - Elizabeth McKenzie, author of MacGregor Tells the World
""A new book by Alfredo Véa is cause for celebration. Véa, creator of the American classic La Maravilla, returns here with a moving and profound story. I read it with gratitude. Get it. Start dancing."" - Luis Alberto Urrea, author of The Hummingbird's Daughter
""This impressive novel gives a human-rights spin to the familiar science fiction theme of time travel. The vividly fanciful and intensely passionate story grapples memorably with the long history of violence and the need to escape or redeem it."" - Publishers Weekly
""Anyone who enjoys magical realism would be committing a crime by skipping this remarkable piece of work."" - Foreword Reviews
