“[A] biting new satire…[a] very funny book about how hard it is to put political belief into action…Repila charms and amuses.” —The Telegraph

“Surprisingly tender…[Repila] always keeps the political firmly entrenched in the personal…The Ally is dark, funny, self-aware, and clever.” —Litro Magazine

“The Ally, an entertaining satire on the role of men in the feminist revolution, has become a little literary phenomenon.” —GQ (Spain)

“Guerrilla warfare between feminists and masculinists keeps escalating, taking this suspense novel from Iván Repila into a darkly comic dystopia…funny and surprisingly profound.” —Le Monde des livres

“Hilarious and provocative.” —Qué Leer

“Will pro-feminism be ‘the final revolution to build a just, egalitarian, and environmentalist world?’ Iván Repila confesses it’s the only utopia he believes in…And we want to believe in it with him.” —Cosmopolitan (France)

“Funny and intelligent…the definitive Spanish novel that any man who aspires to call himself a feminist must read.” —Marina Garcés, Open University of Catalonia

“Through this brilliantly incisive tale of a man determined to be the best feminist ever, Iván Repila takes us on a no-holds-barred, brutally satirical, and wild ride through twenty-first-century machismo and misogyny. Deeply intelligent, brave, funny, and provocative.” —Julianne Pachico, author of The Anthill and The Lucky Ones
