[Shares] the spirit of Eduardo Galeano... but Izagirre gets closer to the ground.

Praise for the Spanish edition, Ricardo Martínez Llorca, Culturamas

Izagirre's narrative of characters eking out a living amidst what, for many, ultimately became silver-lined tombs is deft, admirable, and haunting.

Kim MacQuarrie, author of Life and Death In the Andes

Burning with a quiet power and rage, The Mountain that Eats Men will move you to tears and to anger.

Mark Mann, author of The Gringo Trail

Extremely well written … uses what appears to be a small, personal story to tell a much wider, more universal one… Like Kapuscinski, he finds the drop of water that reflects everything around it.

Praise for the Spanish edition, Martín Caparrós, El País

With echoes of Galeano's political ire and Salgado's immersive rawness, Izagirre has produced a gut-puncher of a book.

Oliver Balch, author of Viva South America!
