"[A Mexican Masquerade] is a fascinating view,
often amusing and occasionally eyebrow-raising, of a whole
town that has collectively 'let its hair down'. The
variegated procession of images, incidents, and conversation
provides, in the aggregate, a satisfying characterization of
these numerous persons caught up in uninhibited
celebration."
--The Mexican Novel Comes of Age
"The kaleidoscope of characters whirl through the rainy
streets to the music of orchestras, mariachis and marimbas
in a kind of alcoholic fog, which the Brushwoods'
translation captures effectively in the sprightly colloquial
English."
