«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.

Great product right out of the box
Size: 24-Inch
My kid had it up and running in seconds. The display is good with zero problems or defects. The size of it allows her to game without having to squint at a small screen. This is a great value and now im expected to get one for my other kid.

Beat bang for your buck. Includes HDMI, DisplayPort, and VGA. Also has speakers.
Size: 24-Inch
This is great 24" computer monitor that has a port for everyone. Includes HDMI, DisplayPort, and VGA. The monitor also includes speakers. The screen will tilt but is not height adjustable. The screen is easy to use and easy to setup. The color quality is fine and is good for a working environment. The monitor is also durable. No replacements yet and over 3 dozen purchased.

This is an excellent value!
Size: 24-Inch
I have been using the Amazon satisfied 24" Monitor for 2 weeks now. Love it! Great definition and color. Set up was a snap. I am totally satisfied with its cost, its performance and its quality.

GOOD QUALITY with a GOOD PRICE to Match!
Size: 24-Inch, Size: 24-Inch
A LITTLE BACKGROUND: I had already owned two small monitors, 24" each, however recently I was rearranging some furniture in the room, of which both monitors were sitting on top of, and during the moving around one of the monitors fell off. Well one of the monitors became unreliable and so I started my hunt for a new one to replace it.
NOW THE REVIEW: Right off the bat two things drew my interest in this 27" monitor. 1. The thin beveled edges for a larger usable screen area, and 2. Easier access to the buttons for configuring the monitor.(i.e. brightness, contrast, etc.). Coming in a VERY close second with #2 is the cost, $99.99($100). Looking at the cost of other monitors small than 27" was a lot more!
So, 3 inches more screen area(than my previous monitors) and the features mentioned above for only a hundred dollars? ...OK!
I had purchase two 32in VIEWSONIC monitors not too long ago for another computer, and I really like the monitors, HOWEVER, the one and only draw back with those two monitors is the location of the buttons for configuring the monitor is in a very bad location to easily access and use, on the backside of the monitor. I cannot see what button I am about to press!
Hold on!!! Wait a minute you might be saying right now... You might be wondering, if not asking, what about the screen resolution, what are things on the screen looking like??
Well that is a great question and my answer to that is, as it said, "a picture is worth a thousand words"...or in this case, $99.99! I have attach a picture with this review so see for yourself.
MY CONCLUSION: GOOD QUALITY with a GOOD PRICE to Match!
I would like to add one more thing. After my wonderful experience with this Amazon Basics product, I am VERY impressed with this line/brand! This brand is as good as the "big name" brands(ViewSonic, Samsung, LG to name a few.) from what I have observed. I have taken a look to see if Amazon Basics makes a 32in monitor, so far I have not seen one in my searching.
Keep up the great job Amazon Basics, I have been so impressed that I have been searching your brand now whenever I am shopping computer accessories. I have two, Amazon Basics USB A 3.0 hubs I purchased before I bought the monitors.

Very nice monitor, am happy, albeit with some concerns described in review.
Size: 24-Inch
I am excited about my new monitor! My old monitor was a combo TV/computer monitor that suddenly would not light up (after about 15 years of great service!), so I took a chance and ordered this Amazon Basics 24-inch monitor that arrived within 24 hours! It is HUGE compared to my old monitor and so far is very readable for use on my desktop. I do have a few quibbles I'd like to mention "for the record": First, the box it came in was all taped up with torn parts, so I am assuming someone returned it to Amazon. I am not clear on what the warranty is for this item, which I thought would be a new, never-used monitor. Will have to clarify this with Amazon. Second, there was NO VGA cable included, which I found disappointing and seems cheap on Amazon's part. Good thing I had a VGA cable for my old desktop! Third, I found the "manual" and instructions for assembling the stand for the monitor to be confusing and unnecessarily complicated. Apparently Amazon has two different models for this monitor and one manual describing how to assemble and use it. I got confused because it has 2 different stands and it's not clear from instructions which one I'm assembling! Further, I found it impossible to put the plastic parts together in a way that offers confidence the thing will not fall apart. I could not get the upright plastic part all the way connected and will be holding my breath and handling it gingerly so as not to have the thing fall apart on me and destroy the monitor! Further, it says to "grip the bezel firmly with both hands"!? What is the bezel?? Seems unnecessarily complicated; but maybe I'm dense...? Now on to the monitor itself: The text and images are quite crisp, which my eyes truly appreciate. And I specifically ordered this monitor because the ad says the controls are on the front. However, I have yet to figure out how to adjust things and I find the present setup way TOO BRIGHT! I will read the manual in hopes of finding how to use these frontal controls, because so far I have not succeeded in using them. I turn them on but before I can figure out how to find the Brightness control, it turns off! Since the screen is not touchable, how do I make changes? I tried using the desktop keypad with no luck. I think there should be a way to adjust controls using the mouse or keypad, instead of being befuddled as I am! I will contact Amazon for help with any lingering problems and to clarify the warranty. So far, I'm happy with this larger, more legible screen, especially after using cell phones and tablets which have literally wrecked my vision! Thanks, Amazon, for this beautiful monitor and speedy delivery. I do think you should give us a courtesy credit for the missing VGA cable! ;-P
