  • "From the Publisher: "Infinitely multiplied by the blare of radios, TVs and record players in San Juan, Macho Camacho's guaracha weaves its way across the city and through the lives of one family on a single day: Senator Vicente Reinosa, a crooked politician stuck in a gargantuan traffic jam; his neurotic, aristocratic wife; their son Benny, a fascist who is quite literally in love with his Ferrari; and the Senator's mistress, who inhabits a poorer world with her idiot child, her cousins (Hughie, Louie, and Dewey) and her friend Dona Chon. Macho Camacho's Beat blends the music of puns, fantastic wordplay, advertising slogans, and pop-culture references with the rhythm of the guaracha to satirize the invasive "Americanization" of the island and the way in which a momentary fad impacts the culture at large."
  • "Este mundo está gobernado por idiomas publicitario y por los puntos suspensivos insidioso que obstruya la comunicación y ocultar la realidad. Se trata de una parodia sobre estas lenguas contaminadas, una novela que es un espejo de Puerto Rico y América Latina, el colonizado.--Translation of the above."

  • ""This world is ruled by publicitary language and by the insidious ellipsis that obstruct communication and hide reality. This is a parody about those polluted languages, a novel that's a mirror of Puerto Rico and Latin America, the colonized."--Amazon"
