“These days, when an American president has decreed that ‘there are only two genders: male and female’ . . . an undaunted, lyrical voice from a southern corner of the hemisphere offers a model of resistance.” —The New Yorker
“Intoxicating . . . Sexy, political and deeply humane . . . We all owe Penguin Classics a round of shots for A Last Supper of Queer Apostles.” —The Washington Post
A galvanizing look at life on the margins of society by a crowning figure of Latin America's queer counterculture who celebrated “melodrama, kitsch, extravagance, and vulgarity of all kinds” (Garth Greenwell) in playful, performative, linguistically inventive essays, now in English for the first time
“I speak from my difference,” wrote Pedro Lemebel, an openly queer writer and artist living through Chile’s AIDS epidemic and the collapse of the Pinochet dictatorship. In brilliantly innovative essays—known as crónicas—that combine memoir, reportage, fiction, history, and poetry, he brought visibility and dignity to sexual minorities, the poor, and the powerless. Touching on everything from Che Guevara to Elizabeth Taylor, from the aftermath of authoritarian rule to the daily lives of Chile’s locas—a slur for trans women and effeminate gay men that he boldly reclaims—his writing infuses political urgency with playfulness, realism with absurdism, and resistance with camp, and his AIDS crónicas immortalize a generation of Chileans doubly “disappeared” by casting each loca, as she falls sick, in the starring role of her own private tragedy. This volume brings together the best of his work, introducing readers of English to the subversive genius of a literary activist and queer icon whose acrobatic explorations of the Santiago demimonde reverberate around the world.

Perfect Solution for Areas Without Electricity – Easy, Reliable, and Worth It
Size: 1 Camera, Size: 1 Camera
I have to admit, this camera brand has become my favorite. This is already my third device: I have a Ring doorbell, a wall-mounted camera, and now this battery-powered version, which turned out to be exactly what I needed for an area where I don't have access to electricity.
I installed it in the hallway of my apartment, right outside the bathroom and bedroom entrances, where there are no outlets, and it has worked perfectly for monitoring that space. It gives me great peace of mind knowing that this area is covered without having to do any complicated installations.
One of the things I like most about this brand is the image and audio quality. The image is clear both day and night, and the sound is crisp, which makes a huge difference in daily use.
The installation was quick and easy, and the app is very user-friendly. Motion notifications arrive instantly, allowing me to stay informed at all times.
It's been installed for about 15 days and the battery is around 53%, which means it will last about a month depending on usage and the amount of motion it detects.
I'm also taking advantage of the 30-day free trial, and what I find excellent is that my current $9.99 plan covers all my devices at no extra cost.It also features two-way audio, integrates seamlessly with Alexa, and has performed well so far, even outdoors.
The only thing I'd mention is that battery life is highly dependent on activity, so in busy areas it may require more frequent recharging.

Stop thinking about which 1, get these!
Size: 1 Camera
Should have got these along time ago. Procrastinating way too much. Great quality, wireless, long lasting battery thus far. Easy to install just about anywhere. Can be moved around. Great set I bought 2 of the covers front of the house and rear yard plus my doorbell. Security surveillance all around! Dont think twice you'll be more than satisfied and greatful.just probably upset you didnt get them sooner.

Great Product
Size: 1 Camera
Great camera for outdoor security. The features on the app have been updated and work better than the Ring Doorbell.
The camera has a great live picture, and the sound is very clear.
