Review

A tour de force ... built around the exciting and timely theme of revolutionary-turned-tyrant - The New York Times Book Review

Not an ordinary historical novel, but rather a poetic, highly informed essay ... in rich prose, a host of memorable impressions ... Splendidly written - Kirkus Reviews

What does this novel have to tell us about colonialism, globalization, feminism, human rights, the rights of nature, transculturation, migration, war? ... Explosion in a Cathedral continues to accompany us, to question us, to challenge and move us, and ultimately to help us in the arduous and terrible exercise of reading the world -- Alejandro Zambra - The Paris Review
