"In *Exorcismos*—a collection brimming with classical erudition and sarcastic literary inquiries—Cabrera Infante’s playful talent shines through, as does his obsession with the surprises of language, embodied in a series of puns, multilingual wordplay, and ingenious typographical manipulations that evoke e.e. cummings and the Oulipo (Ouvroir de littérature potentielle)."
