” Tununa´s works are a paradigm for rediscovering the feminine from new angles, valued from a unique point of view: that of a sex, which until that moment had only struggled for equality, and only around the 1970s began to allow the acknowledgement of difference. Spurning all classifications, Tununa Mercado delights in merging and confounding genres. Novel, short story, essay? What does it matter if it’s great literature? What does it matter when it comes to profound texts nely spun from a masterful pen? “ --Ana María Shua
