His work has been highly praised by both Albert Camus and Thomas Mann. In 1985 he won the Miguel de Cervantes Prize (equivalent ot the Nobel Prize for literature in Hispanic languages) 'for four decades of literary endeavour'.
Review:
An ambitious, tapestry-type fiction. --Kirkus Reviews
Offers by way of fair exchange a rich motherlode of imagery, language and haunting scenes...Sabato's 13-year gestation produced a frequently brilliant book. --Salman Rushdie
Dr. Sabato took his place among Latin America s greatest writers, and he followed a singular literary path that distinguished him from the writers of the Latin American 'boom' of the 1960s and 1970s. --Washington Post
