Her vision and language are precise, and the power of her intellect is in evidence on every page.--Daniel AlarcónI'm completely captivated by the beauty of the paragraphs, the elegance of the prose, the joy in the written word, and the literary sense of this author.--Enrique Vilas-MatasValeria Luiselli is an evening cyclist; a literary tourist in Venice, searching for Joseph Brodsky's tomb; an excavator of her own artifacts, unpacking from a move.

Her novel and essays have been translated into many languages and her work has appeared in publications including the New York Times, Granta, and McSweeney's.

She lives in New York City.
