"Giannina Braschi's novel Yo-Yo
Boing! is the best demonstration yet of her
extraordinary virtuosity, her command of many different
registers, her dizzying ability to switch between English
and Spanish. It is also a very funny novel, a novel of
argumentative conversations that cover food, movies,
literature, art, the academy, sex, memory, and everyday
life. It is a book that should be performed as well as
read."
--Jean Franco
