"Narrated with extraordinary verve... We need works like these, conceived and composed without any hint of frivolity, set out on the endless task of making our world more intelligible." -- Ricardo Senabre, El Cultural

"Surgical, glittering, and poetic prose ... Cano has created a branching multiplicity of stories within a story, borrowing from the mastery of William Faulkner, Saul Bellow, or Philip Roth. Literature with a capital L." -- Hasier Rekondo, Koult

"What makes Twist such a powerful novel is precisely the fact that it does not take sides, but rather digs down into the human experience and into what makes human beings so worthy of both admiration and contempt." -- J.A. Masoliver Ródenas, La Vanguardia

"A grand novel...an intense and profound history...despite being set in the context of the Basque conflict, the novel tells us about all of friendship, of the absence and the feeling of guilt." -- Javier Rojos, El Correo
