Law of Love

"The 'graphic novel' sections by Spanish artist Miguelanxo Prado are visually dark and rich; no comic book flatness in their rough chiaroscuro. These episodes are integral to the text, replacing words with visions which, though explicit and narratively clear, have an enigmatic quality that add a sense of mystery to the torrential and all-too-explanatory text. A real collaboration went on between writer and artist....The words of the danzones are clever, brilliant light; the words of the Aztec poems are sad, fierce, luminous; and the contrast of these voices is a good one.Esquivel, Laura is the author of 'Law of Love' with ISBN 9780609801277 and ISBN 0609801279.
