About Almost Dorothy: "I like the naughtiness of de la Flor's poetics: the speaker's wordplay is double-speak and double-entendre, and no dust ever settles on a single meaning. Almost Dorothy is a challenging and unsettling reading experience, but there are plenty of cues and clues along the way to keep the reader constantly alert and sometimes startled..."
