Tobar looks at Los Angeles like Tom Wolfe took on New York in The Bonfire of the Vanities. Race, class, crime, immigration, marriage trouble, and tabloid-ready news stories--it's all here., That Tobar is so evenhanded, so compassionate, so downright smart, should place The Barbarian Nurseries on everyone's must-read list., "Tobar weaves an intricate urban tale animated by a creative, savvy protagonist."--- The New Yorker "A book of extraordinary scope and extraordinary power."---Richard Rayner, Los Angeles Times "Tobar exhibits a seismographic sensitivity to the tensions along the fault lines of his cultural terrain….His illuminations become our recognitions."--- The New York Times Book Review "Both timely and timeless…Tobar continually creates moments of uncommon magic."--- Elle "Tobar looks at Los Angeles like Tom Wolfe took on New York in The Bonfire of the Vanities .

Race, class, crime, immigration, marriage trouble, and tabloid-ready news stories-it's all here."- New York Post "Each moment surprises....Darkly hilarious and moving."- The Washington Post "That Tobar is so evenhanded, so compassionate, so downright smart, should place The Barbarian Nurseries on everyone's must-read list."- The Seattle Times, " The Barbarian Nurseries is a book of extraordinary scope and extraordinary power. Héctor Tobar''s second novel sweeps its central character from almost-serfdom and sends her on an odyssey through the teeming mysteries of Los Angeles and the wild jungles of the California judicial system . . . Tobar, a Los Angeles Times columnist, moves nimbly in and out of the minds of a host of characters, viewing even those who seem on the surface the least sympathetic with an awed authorial tenderness. The chief surprise of The Barbarian Nurseries is that, despite the social and ethnic schisms it so acutely explores, it turns out to be such a warm novel." - Los Angeles Times " The Barbarian Nurseries is a dark, poignant and hilarious tale of a family maid in Southern California who tries to hold things together as a marriage falls apart . . . That Tobar is so evenhanded, so compassionate, so downright smart, should place his new novel on everyone''s must-read list." - The Seattle Times "In his ambitious second novel, The Barbarian Nurseries , Héctor Tobar plants issues both timely and timeless-race, class, mixed marriage, immigration, servitude, parenting-and raises them up from the fertile narrative soil of Southern California . . . [His] writing continually creates moments of uncommon magic." - ELLE " The Barbarian Nurseries , in stylistic homage to Charles Dickens, Tom Wolfe and T. C. Boyle, paints a rich Panavision place and time as sprawling and paradoxical as its subject . . . Tobar has crafted an illuminating parable for this historical moment, and an entertaining one, and provided a social mirror within which are faces we need to understand, and face." - The Buffalo News "Héctor Tobar's The Barbarian Nurseries is that rare novel that redefines a city. It has the necessary vital sweep of culture and class that brings a city to life, but its power lies in Tobar''s ability to persuasively change the perspective from which the Los Angeles of the present-and, by extension, the United States-is seen. This book confirms the promise of Tobar''s debut novel, The Tattooed Soldier ." -Stuart Dybek, author of I Sailed with Magellan and The Coast of Chicago " The Barbarian Nurseries is a huge novel of this century, as sprawling and exciting as Los Angeles itself, one that tracks a Mexican immigrant maid not only as static decor in ''real'' America''s economic rise and fall. Like yard workers and cooks, construction laborers and seamstresses, Tobar''s Araceli has flesh, brains, dreams, ambition, history, culture, voice: a rich, generous life. A story that was demanded, we can celebrate that it is now here." -Dagoberto Gilb, author of Before the End, After the Beginning and The Flowers "Héctor Tobar''s novel is astonishing, like a many-layered mural on a long wall in Los Angeles, a tapestry of people and neighborhoods and stories. A vivid testament to Southern California as the world. Araceli is so unexpected and unique; she''s a character America needs to see, and this novel takes her on a journey America needs to understand." -Susan Straight, author of Highwire Moon "Tobar delivers a riveting, insightful morality tale of conspicuously consuming Americans and their Mexican servants in the O.C. . . . Tobar is both inventive and relentless in pricking the pretentious social consciences of his entitled Americans, though he also casts a sober look on the foibles of the Mexicans who serve them. His sharp eye for Southern California culture, spiraling plot twists, ecological awareness, and ample willingness to dole out come-uppance to the nauseatingly privileged may put readers in mind of T. C. Boyle." - Publishers Weekly, Tobar exhibits a seismographic sensitivity to the tensions along the fault lines of his cultural terrain....His illuminations become our recognitions., "A book of extraordinary scope and extraordinary power." -- Los Angeles Times "Tobar exhibits a seismographic sensitivity to the tensions along the fault lines of his cultural terrain....His illuminations become our recognitions." -- The New York Times Book Review "Both timely and timeless...Tobar continually creates moments of uncommon magic." -- Elle "Tobar looks at Los Angeles like Tom Wolfe took on New York in The Bonfire of the Vanities.
