"Que nadie se confunda con esta mamadera de gallo -un libro de cuentos que sumados dan una novela salvaje- porque no es una autoficción, sino una autosátira con vocación de autoexorcismo: una terapia de choque que emplea todas las formas de lucha, desde los pantallazos hasta los poemas que no tienen versos sino chistes, para liberarse de las frustraciones brutales que tiende a traer la carrera de escritor colombiano". --Ricardo Silva Romero

Exitoso para fracasar, excesivo con sus borracheras, excelente cocinero y trapeador, escritor desconocido..., el narrador de esta colección de cuentos ofrece una mirada fresca e hilarante sobre las aventuras y desventuras del mundillo literario y sobre cómo este no resulta ni tan sofisticado ni tan pomposo como se creería. El protagonista fracasa en reemplazar a García Márquez en México, fracasa como invitado a un festival literario, fracasa dando un autógrafo, fracasa como ganador de un premio literario, fracasa como protagonista de un escándalo, y fracasaría como escritor... si hubiera decidido no serlo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"Don't be fooled by appearances: This is a collection of stories that, taken together, add up to a wild ride of a novel. Not quite autofiction, it is self-satire aiming at self-exorcism. It is shock therapy that experiments with a range of formats, from screenshots to poems comprised of jokes instead of verses, to vent the frustrations of opting for a career as a writer in Colombia." -Ricardo Silva Romero

An expert at failure, a binge drinker, great cook and writer of books no one's heard of... the narrator of these stories offers a refreshing and hilarious look at the adventures and misadventures of life in the literary world, which turns out to be not as sophisticated or pompous as one might think. The protagonist fails to replace García Márquez in Mexico, fails his guest appearance at a literary festival, fails at signing an autograph, fails as the winner of a literary prize, fails at scandal, and would fail as a writer... if he had decided not to be one.

Surprisingly wide enough
Size: 9, Color: Black
Was surprised that they're wide enough. Usually, shoes that say they're wide, aren't really wide. They're very cute and "hopefully" when I do wear them out, they'll continue to stay comfortable. I ordered both the Coffee Bean and Black, size 9. Usually wear a 9 or 9 1/2, the fit has plenty of room in the toe area with size 9.

Cute but Ouch
Size: 8.5, Color: Sand
Theses shoes are cute and comfortable to walk in *comfortable to the soles of your feet* HOWEVER, there is part of the inside seem on the outer right ankle that scrapes my leg with every step. I tried to see if wearing them down would help, wearing band-aids, putting duct tape on my leg, mole skin - but nothing helps, by the end of the work day I still feel that scraping seem. And I'm not usually sensitive to this kind of thing. I'm way outside my return window, so I'll have to pass them along to someone else with my same shoe size or donate them. Overall they're a good shoe - i just think mine had an issue when the seems were finished

Size down 0.5!
Size: 8, Color: Black Lizard
Love the black snake skin look, I normally wear a size 8 and these fit more like an 8.5. Works with a thicker sock but I definitely recommend sizing down 0.5.
