Reviews from independent booksellers on the panel that selected POSO WELLS for the Summer/Fall "Indies Introduce" list of ten best author-debut books:

"A rare achievement in which a reader comes out the other end wanting to start again. A bold and clever tale with a unique voice. -- Rebecca George, Volumes Bookcafé, Chicago.

"Exciting debut translation of a celebrated Ecuadorian author, and one that should lead to more translations of her work."
-- Ely Watson, A Room of One's Own, Madison WI.

"One part Thomas Pynchon, one part Gabriel García Márques, and one part Raymond Chandler, Alemán's novel is a concoction of political thriller and absurdist literary mystery that never fails to entertain." -- Kirkus Reviews

Spitball magazine: "Fresh, exciting material,
these 18 short stories from accomplished Latin American writers
not only reflect a love of baseball equal to our own, they
demonstrate fine literary talent previously inaccessible to us.
Highly recommended."
