“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.

Really nice and sturdy. These are all I use now.
Size: 400 Count, Size: 400 Count
I bought these to put Caster oil on my eye lashes. They are so nice and sturdy, I have started using them for everything. The cotton head is tightly wound, so it doesn’t fall apart when used. The stick is not plastic, but is strong and really takes a lot of force to bend. 100% Organic.
So long Johnson and Johnson Qtips, which have degraded since 2020. They use to be more like these.

Handy
Size: 400 Count
The product immediately goes on your bathroom counter. If you order other brands in drugstores they come in an inconvenient box dispenser. This one makes it easy to access.

Highly recommend
Size: 400 Count
I wanted something with a smaller, more compact tip for eye makeup application and clean up and these are perfect! Q-tips have gotten so irregular and sloppy, not at all like they used to be made. Cliganic has stepped up and filled the void nicely👍🏻 Great packaging too!

Very nice cotton swabs
Size: 400 Count
Impressed with the quality. It is difficult to open the box and the swabs are difficult to remove as they are packed very tightly.
