Una novela del Premio Nobel de Literatura Mario Vargas Llosa. «Él había pensado que, después de todo, un periodista puede ser a veces útil. "Y también peligroso", concluyó. Tuvo el presentimiento de que nada bueno saldría de esta visita.» «La idea de esta novela comenzó con una imagen de dos señoras amigas que de pronto una noche, de una manera impensada para ambas, viven una situación erótica. Luego se fue convirtiendo en una historia policial, casi un thriller, y el thriller se fue transformando en una especie de mural de la sociedad peruana en los últimos meses o semanas de la dictadura de Fujimori y Montesinos. Me gustó la idea de que la historia se llamase Cinco esquinas como un barrio que, de alguna manera, es emblemático de Lima, de Perú y también de la época en la que está situada la historia. »Si hay un tema que permea, que impregna toda la historia, es el periodismo, el periodismo amarillo. La dictadura de Fujimori utilizó el periodismo amarillo, el periodismo de escándalo, como un arma política para desprestigiar y aniquilar moralmente a todos sus adversarios. Al mismo tiempo, también está la otra cara, cómo el periodismo, que puede ser algo vil y sucio, puede convertirse de pronto en un instrumento de liberación, de defensa moral y cívica de una sociedad. Esas dos caras del periodismo son uno de los temas centrales de Cinco esquinas.» - Mario Vargas Llosa ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A thrilling tale of desire and Peruvian corruption swirls around a scandalous exposé that leads to murder From the Nobel Laureate comes a politically charged detective novel weaving through the underbelly of Peruvian privilege. In the 1990s, during the turbulent and deeply corrupt years of Alberto Fujimori's presidency, two wealthy couples of Lima's high society become embroiled in a disturbing vortex of erotic adventures and politically driven blackmail.One day Enrique, a high-profile businessman, receives a visit from Rolando Garro, the editor of a notorious magazine that specializes in salacious exposés. Garro presents Enrique with lewd pictures from an old business trip and demands that he invest in the magazine. Enrique refuses, and the next day the pictures are on the front page. Meanwhile, Enrique's wife is in the midst of a passionate and secret affair with the wife of Enrique's lawyer and best friend. When Garro shows up murdered, the two couples are thrown into a whirlwind of navigating Peru's unspoken laws and customs, while the staff of the magazine embark on their greatest exposé yet.
Ironic and sensual, provocative and redemptive, the novel swirls into the kind of restless realism that has become Mario Vargas Llosa's signature style. A twisting, unpredictable tale, The Neighborhood is at once a scathing indictment of Fujimori's regime and a crime thriller that evokes the vulgarity of freedom in a corrupt system.

Not Wrinkle-Free at All — Very Misleading Description
Color: Orange-pink, Size: Medium
I specifically purchased this clothing item because it was advertised as having “Wrinkle-Free Fabric.” Unfortunately, the actual result was very disappointing. After washing and drying it according to the care instructions, the entire garment came out covered in wrinkles. There was absolutely no sign of any wrinkle-free or anti-wrinkle effect. Every wash still requires ironing, which seriously contradicts the product description.
If you are buying this item because of the “Wrinkle-Free” claim, I would recommend thinking twice. The quality does not match the advertising at all.

Not Wrinkle Free
Color: Blue, Size: X-Large
I like these shirts because they are comfortable and cool. The microfiber fabric is smooth and breathable.
However, I find that they must be ironed while damp for best appearance. They do not dry wrinkle free. Also, small specks of lint from the washer seem to get caught in the microfiber weave.

Great Shirt except for the Cuff Size
Size: 20" Neck 34"-35" Sleeve, Color: White
My only complaint is that when I use the inner cuff buttons to make the cuffs tighter, the cuffs still aren’t small enough (larger than my other shirts of the same size). My wrists are about average, or maybe even a little larger than average. This feature is important for those of us who need a larger neck size but a shorter sleeve. They don’t make a 20 inch collar with a 32/33 sleeve (for some reason)… unless you order a custom shirt for several times as much money… so I have to buy a shirt with sleeves that are too long. That works fine as long as I can use the second cuff button to make the cuffs tighter, so that the sleeves don’t ride down onto my hand when I’m wearing my suit. It’s annoying to have to take a new shirt to a tailor to have the cuff buttons relocated.
