Críticas:

'""Alburquerque' is a rich and tempestuous book, full of love and compassion, the complex and exciting skullduggery of politics, and the age-old quest for roots, identity, family... There is a marvellous tapestry of interwoven myth and magic that guides Anaya's characters' sensibilities, and is equally important in defining their feel of place. Above all, in this novel is a deep caring for land and culture and for the spiritual well-being of people, environment, landscape."" -- John Nichols, author. ""...'Alburquerque' portrays a quest for knowledge... a novel about many cultures intersecting at an urban, power-, and politics-filled crossroads, represented by a powerful white businessman, whose mother just happens to be a Jew who has hidden her Jewishness... and a boy from the barrio who fathers a child raised in the barrio but who eventually goes on to a triumphant assertion of his cross-cultural self."" -- 'World Literature Today'. ""'Alburquerque' fulfills two important functions: it restores the missing R to the name of the city, and it shows off Anaya's powers as a novelist."" -- Alan Cheuse, National Public Radio. ""'Alburquerque' is a rich and tempestuous book, full of love and compassion, the complex and exciting skullduggery of politics, and the age-old quest for roots, identity, family."" -- John Nichols, author of 'The Milagro Beanfield War'.
