'Ibáñez has written a huge novel, and he does an excellent job of hooking you in from the beginning with the fast pace... A love letter to humanity and nature, art and culture.'

Litro Magazine

'Andrés Ibañez is an extraordinary novelist. Sea of Eden is outlandish, unexpected and unusual... Andrés Ibáñez's masterpiece situates the author comfortably alongside Roberto Bolaño.'

'An audacious figure with a cult following among those seeking an alternative to more naturalist writing.'

Times Literary Supplement

«

'The author breaks rules few novelists would dare to violate...and the experiment works. Sea of Eden is an
ambitious, maximalist, cosmopolitan, encyclopaedic novel overflowing with vitality.'

»

Eduardo Lago, Revista de libros

«

'A work of great experience and enlightenment, unique not only in the landscape of recent Spanish literature but, I would argue, across our entire literary history. Pure literary magic, of the kind we encounter only in the work of great talents.'

Revista de Libros

«

'A literary wonder of unbridled imagination.'

'An excellent and entertaining novel... A story of feeling and passion in which love, friendship, eroticism, hatred, suspicion, pleasure and pain are always present, not to mention humour.'

»

Babelia

«

'A book that will fill many hours with pleasurable, entertaining, philosophical reading.' 

»

El Placer de la Lectura
