En 1976 apareció La guaracha del Macho Camacho, que consagró a Luis Rafael Sánchez como una de las figuras clave en las letras latinoamericanas. Para entender un texto tan innovador el lector tiene que volver a los cuentos de «En cuerpo de camisa» (1966) y a otros relatos anteriores en los que se halla el germen de los malabarismos verbales que caracterizan la obra de madurez del autor, así como su preocupación por desentrañar los problemas sociales de su país desde la cultura popular urbana.

En cuentos ya clásicos como «Aleluya negra», «Que sabe a paraíso» o «Espuelas» el autor explora la discriminación racial o la identidad puertorriqueña, el vacío existencial y la frustración de la clase media, la sexualidad festiva o la crítica feroz al sistema burocrático a través de un lenguaje que desarrolla lo que el propio autor definió como una «poética de lo soez».

«Imposible entender a Roma sin Virgilio, a Italia sin Dante, a España sin Cervantes, a Argentina sin Borges. Igualmente es imposible entender al Puerto Rico contemporáneo sin Luis Rafael Sánchez. Las culturas constituidas siempre descansan sobre los hombros de sus grandes artistas». --Luce López-Baralt y Aníbal González

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

In 1976, La guaracha del Macho Camacho was published, establishing Luis Rafael Sánchez as a key figure in Latin American literature. To fully grasp such an innovative text, readers must return to the stories from "En cuerpo de camisa" (1966) and other earlier works, where the seeds of the verbal acrobatics that define the author's mature writing can be found, along with his concern for unraveling his country's social issues through urban popular culture.

In now-classic stories such as "Aleluya negra," "Que sabe a paraíso," and "Espuelas," the author explores racial discrimination and Puerto Rican identity, existential emptiness and middle-class frustration, festive sexuality, and fierce criticism of the bureaucratic system--through a language shaped by what the author himself called a "poetics of the profane."

"It's impossible to understand Rome without Virgil, Italy without Dante, Spain without Cervantes, Argentina without Borges. Likewise, it is impossible to understand contemporary Puerto Rico without Luis Rafael Sánchez. Established cultures always rest on the shoulders of their great artists." --Luce López-Baralt and Aníbal González

Gave my dog an allergic reaction
Color: Blue, Size: 4.5 Inch
I have one that has lasted 2 years of hard play, very durable. However, this newest one in the teal color gave my dog an allergic reaction. Her face and eyes swelled up within 1/2 of playing with it. So I threw it out. I have had no issues with the green one that I bought yesterday ago.

The best gift for new dog owners
Color: Blue, Size: 4.5 Inch
This has been my mom's go-to toy to gift to friends and family when they get a new dog. I just followed suit and bought one as a gift for my friend's Newfoundland puppy. Versatile, can be used as a ball or tug of war toy, and can buy a bigger size for a puppy to grow into because they can still grab it by the holes, unlike other balls and toys that are just too big to get their mouth around

Smells amazing!
Color: 03# Gold
Love this! Soft glow with sunscreen and the fragrance and feel of the oil is delightful! Have not had it drip sunscreen and sweat into my eyes like so many sunscreens. It stays on and soaks in so nicely.

Surprisingly good
Color: 02# Rose Gold
This actually works, which I was surprised by as it's an oil. I was out in the sun for 3 hours and didn't burn. Shake well before use, of course. The micro glitter leaves the most gorgeous glow to the skin that shimers so lusciously in the sunlight. My only complaint is that it's a little sticky when it dries down, but that won't stop me from using it.
