‘The magic of Paulina Flores’ writing lies in placing us in that critical moment when everything is about to change, yet everything seems still. A finely tuned literary high-wire act if ever there was one.’ Carlos Fonseca, author of Colonel Lágrimas

‘An incredible storyteller. Paulina Flores has a knack for laying bare those fragile, often inarticulated, often hard to pin down emotions children hold for their parents.’  Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi, author of Kintu

‘Paulina Flores deftly captures our startling humanity; there's awe and dread in these pages—but there's joy, too, fleeting and overwhelming. The worlds she crafts in Humiliation are our worlds, in all their terror and amazement.’ Bryan Washington, author of Lot

'Humiliation is a brilliant book that captures the volatility of misunderstandings, the moment when failures matter less than the need to share them.' Alejandro Zambra

‘Chilean author Paulina Flores might be only 28-years-old, but her mature style and her insight into the cracks beneath the surface of middle class life have astonished readers and critics alike.’ Marie Claire
