Críticas:

Praise for Mother and Child

"This plotless but not directionless novel beautifully contemplates the treachery of the world that motherhood exposes, and the child's ignorance of it."--Publisher Weekly

Praise for The Art Lover

"The tough-mindedness, originality and wit of her perceptions are intoxicating." -Publishers Weekly

"By giving the conflicts in her life a fictional context, she tries to bring order and beauty - and some degree of understanding - to chaos." -Library Journal

Fully coherent, moving and elegiac, a genuine consolation. -The New York Times Book Review

Heartbreakingly perfect...A dazzling second book and an almost impossible act to follow. - San Francisco Chronicle

Praise for Room Lit by Roses

"In lush, elliptical language, Maso charts her first experience with pregnancy and new motherhood in a journal that reads like prose poetry, couching the mysterious experience in surprising forms, syntaxes and imagery... her dreamlike treatment of pregnancy, birth, mothering and writing should enchant mothers, mothers-to-be and writers with a poetic bent." -Publisher's Weekly

Reseña del editor:

A meditation on life, death and the intensity of existence follows the journey of a mother and child who share an increasingly dangerous psychic and physical terrain where once-hidden elements are revealed and where both become subject to a terrible wisdom and impossible transformations.
