“If Felipe Restrepo Pombo was a runner, he’d run marathons. His passion for chronicles is exhausting. He isn’t satisfied by figuring out something important: he needs to figure it all out. Those who think cellphones can’t be topped when it comes to obtaining personal information haven’t met the inexhaustible Felipe. His Perfiles anfibios reveal that even in the digital era, the most meticulous details are not found in devices, but in the pages written by this exceptional chronicler.”

“Restrepo Pombo has a rare talent among contemporary writers: he is capable of dedicating himself to both fiction and journalism—aside from being a first-rate editor—to create stories that are both fascinating and always relevant.”

“He is a professional voyeur; a writer with his feet firmly planted in reality. Nothing gets past him. He observes, observes again, takes notes, and tells us the whole story. His work has that marvelous quality that has been lost in journalism: it is more alive than the real world.”
