Eduardo Lalo is one of the most vital and unique voices of Latin American literature, but his work is relatively little known in the English-speaking world. That changes now: this masterful translation of his most celebrated novel, Simone--which won the 2013 R mulo Gallegos International Novel Prize--will introduce an English-language audience to this extraordinary literary talent. A tale of alienation, love, suspense, imagination, and literature set on the streets of San Juan, Puerto Rico, Simone tells the story of a self-educated Chinese immigrant student courting (and stalking) a disillusioned, unnamed writer who is struggling to make a name for himself in a place that is not exactly a hotbed of literary fame. By turns solipsistic and political, romantic and dark, Simone begins with the writer's frustrated, satiric observations on his native city and the banal life of the university where he teaches--forces utterly at odds with the sensuality of his writing. But, as mysterious messages and literary clues begin to appear--scrawled on sidewalks and walls, inside volumes set out in bookstores, left on his answering machine and under his windshield wiper--Simone progresses into a cat-and-mouse game between the writer and his mystery stalker. When the eponymous Simone's identity is at last revealed, the writer finds in the life of this Chinese immigrant a plight not unlike his own. Traumatized and lonely, the pair moves towards bittersweet collaborations in passion, grief, and art.Binding Type: Paperback

Works great. Wish pieces came apart.
Size: 15-Foot
My only suggestion is that the pieces are made more easily to take apart so that you can buy two and combine them for a longer ramp. But they don’t advertise that capability so i cant dock a star for it. Otherwise work great.

Nice and easy does it
Size: 15-Foot
Perfect for when you're camping with full hookups. This keeps your sewer hose off the ground and up just enough to drain while camping. It spreads easy and evenly. I like not having to put blocks, metal hooks, or something else to set the hose on. This is quick and easy. It's very durable plastic and if needed easy to rinse off. It comes with an orange piece that hooks onto it to keep it together to make it great for storing. We have a gray tank in front and gray and black in back. We use two sewer hoses when camping with full hookup. I bought two of these so one is under each sewer hose. The look of these is just "neater" versus tacky like my uneven blocks were. They are very stable once put in place whether on concrete or gravel campsite.

Perfect, Safe Hose for My Rain Barrel Setup
Style: 1/2-Inch ID, Size: 4 Feet
This Camco TastePURE 4-foot water hose has been perfect for my rain barrel setup. The length is exactly what I needed for a clean, simple connection without excess hose to deal with.
I really appreciate that it’s drinking-water safe with no lead, BPA, or phthalates. Even though I’m using it with a rain barrel, it’s reassuring to know it’s made from safe materials. The reinforced design feels sturdy and durable, not flimsy like cheaper hoses.
The 1/2” inside diameter provides solid water flow, and it’s made in the USA, which is a nice bonus. Great quality, reliable, and exactly what I was looking for. Easy 5 stars.

Wow, It’s 2026, I purchased in 2022!
Style: 5/8-Inch ID, Size: 50-Foot
I just looked up this hose again in my order history to get another. I was shocked to see that I ordered it four years ago. It held up through the most brutal northeast winter in decades, fully expected to it have burst, but no! Reliable and recommended!
