"With Jorge Franco's narco-saga Rosario Tijeras [Latin America's literary movement] may have found its first masterpiece."

"Mr Franco and a slew of other Colombian authors... are publishing straightforward, darkly realistic urban novels... The works are a break with a fantastical past that has brought this new generation of writers growing success and important critical acclaim, both here and in Europe."
