«En el momento de la siesta de Dios, las putas somos la luz de la vela.» Con el nombre de Leonardo a cuestas y una estética andrógina, la protagonista llega a Tijuana, estafada por un grupo de tratantes. Bautizada como Mónica y cobijada por Rosy, una especie de madre adoptiva, se siente plena y aprende los trucos del que será su mundo: un lugar lleno de traiciones, felicidad, euforia y adicciones. Un par de años después, Mónica pasará de la seguridad de los hoteles y posadas a la hostilidad de la calle y de la Jungla, el lugar más sórdido y desconocido de Tijuana. Con la cuerpa reseca y la voz de su madre en mente, consigue lamerse las heridas y volver a casa. El regreso será un viacrucis y la llegada una bendición. También, será el verdadero inicio. Esta cuerpa mía es una novela honesta y desparpajada, llena de humor y de música, de amor y sororidad, pero con espacio para el dolor y el odio. Está llena de drogas, peligro e hipocresías; de inyecciones de aceite, lentejuelas y tacones altos; de sexo en las esquinas, hoteles y espacios virtuales. Uri Bleier escribe una novela que huele a calle, sabe a playa y suena a cumbia; una historia que su personaje monta a galope con toda su fiereza y ternura. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "When God naps, we whores are the candlelight."Ditching their birth name of Leonardo and sporting an androgynous look, the protagonist of This Body of Mine is stuck in Tijuana after being conned by their border smugglers. Calling themselves Mónica and informally adopted by woman named Rosy, they soon master the tricks of this new world, a place of betrayals, euphoria and addiction. A few years pass and Mónica transitions from the relative safety of the city's motels to the dangers of the streets and the Jungle, the most sordid and notorious corner of Tijuana. Exhausted and drained, and with their mother's voice in their head, they decide to cut their losses and head home. The journey is hellish, but the homecoming is a blessing and a chance at a new beginning. This Body of Mine is a daring and honest novel full of humor and music, love and sisterhood, but also hatred and pain. It describes a world of drugs, danger and hypocrisy; silicone, sequins and stilettos; sex in alleyways, hotels and cyberspace. Through his headstrong but tender protagonist, Uri Bleier will make you smell the street, taste the seaside breeze, and tap your toes to a cumbia beat.

Kate spade purse
Size: One Size, Color: Seaweed, Size: One Size, Color: Seaweed
Love the style, look, and size of this purse but not the color seaweed. Rebought in color dusk rose. So much better! This color can be used in summer or winter. Has two pockets on the inside, 1 zips, 1 doesn't.
