My review of Mauro Javier Cardenas's Aphasia has been published in a special issue of American Book Review, on "Serious Fiction":
. . .If writers such as Marquez and Bernhard are among the writers who first challenged not just conventional narrative form or the protocols of realism but the structural and syntactical expectations of fictional discourse itself, Cárdenas is able to adapt their practice to a self-sufficient verbal strategy that uses this disrupted discourse as an available aesthetic resource.
