"La Grecia de los clásicos vive aún, sobre todo, en la escritura de Giannina Braschi.

Forrest Gander, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet and author of Mojave Ghost, lauds Putinoika by Braschi, stating, "If, as in Ezra Pound’s translation of Aristotle, the ‘swift perception of relations’ is truly the ‘hallmark of genius,’ it’s in the brightly lit halls of Braschi’s books where poetry is tested and stamped with such a mark."
Putinas of Putin is a dramatic scene in the new epic tragicomedy by Giannina Braschi entitled PUTINOIKA. It's a multi-genre epic exploring the frenzy and plague in the era of Putin and Trump. Drawing inspiration from ancient Greek tragedies, PUTINOIKA unfolds in three parts: Palinode, Bacchae, and Putinoika. Amid a world overflowing with collusion, delusion, and pollution, hope not only stands...
"El texto de Braschi es como la música de las estrellas: resuena y se pierde en la vastedad, donde Edipo, Antígona y Eurídice interactúan con figuras políticas como Donald Trump y Vladimir Putin, mientras muestrea todo desde Tito Puente, Leonard Cohen y Carol G hasta Greta Thunberg. En un mundo paralelo, Putinoika es la matriz del Wasteland, de T.S. Eliot." Elidio de la Torre Lagares SIGLO 22

Putinoika is a luminous book. Its light comes from an apparent chaos, a mirror of our time, written in a precise, profane, and sweetly convulsive language.

PUTINOIKA BOOK REVIEW BY LATINX POP MAGAZINE "The Putinas’s voices, mainly comprised of Ivana, Ivanka, and Melania, brilliantly parallel with the Maenads—whose existence is determined by their devotion to Bacchus. Yet it is not Bacchus but the Putin’s Russian regime that is the Putinas’s subject of devotion in this case. As Melania the Putina reaffirms, “We’re more flesh than inspiration. We’re...
