»Conviene destacar dos aspectos de los angeles prosa de Pizarnik. Los relatos, en primer lugar, cuajados de motivos y figuras recurrentes en los angeles obra poética: los angeles seducción y l. a. nostalgia imposibles, los angeles tentación del silencio, l. a. escritura concebida como espacio ceremonial donde se exaltan los angeles vida, l. a. libertad, y l. a. muerte, l. a. infancia y sus espejismos, los espejos y el doble amenazador... Importa menos, en este sentido, l. a. extensión de los relatos que l. a. intensa concentración en ellos de un trabajo de escritura que busca exaltar los poderes del lenguaje. Éste es -y no los angeles muerte o l. a. locura o el suicidio- el gran motor de los angeles obra de Pizarnik.»
