[Medina's] stories are full of literary and pop-cultural references: Rousseau, Cocteau and Shakespeare jostle for space alongside Madonna, Michael Jackson and Pope John Paul II... The prose, ambiguous and paratactic, is reminiscent of the Argentine writer Luisa Valenzuela. --Times Literary Supplement
