“Camilo Pino manages the language with surgical efficiency. There are no useless frills and timeouts in his prose. With marvelous skill, he combines suspense and cynicism. His texts have a rare speed and mood for our literature. Camilo does not want to be complacent, he writes as if he wants to leave the reader breathless. And it succeeds.” -Alberto Barrera-Tyszka.
