"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.Shipping Notes

Excellent, But Not Strong Enough
Color: Monsieur Acorn - Large
This has become the most engaged my dog has ever been with a toy. He chewed these acorns for an hour and a half STRAIGHT. Sadly, he was able to shred both acorns by this time.
For dogs with a normal chewing and shredding amount, this toy would be perfect. However, for a super chewer like our dog (Lab/Malamute), it seems like we're going to need something stronger...

A favorite for my small destroyers
Color: Monsieur Acorn - Large, Color: Monsieur Acorn - Large
My small destroyer dogs LOVE these toys and are always surprised to find another toy after the first and second violent de-stuffing. Definitely a supervision toy for safety, but my terriers love doing their thing when these come out and they last much longer than I had anticipated. Color, design and value all as described, however I literally do not remember if it did squeak because the squeaker would be the first thing gone

It looks like a Totoro
Color: Hare - Large
Great toy ! Pibble loves it! an it looks just like a Totoro which is huge plus at our house. These are very durable and once de gloved the body will last a very long time if your dog isn’t a big chewer.
