“Ernesto Quinonez so vividly captures Spanish Harlem that Chango’s Fire could be called the Great (Latin) American Novel.” - Minneapolis Star Tribune
“It is a cultural criticism and self-analysis that catapults this novel beyond entertainment or today’s politics. Readers arrive at a bold new place, and a new way of thinking by the end of Chango’s Fire. That’s the definition of a book that matters.” - El Paso Times
