En 1976 apareci� La guaracha del Macho Camacho, que consagr� a Luis Rafael S�nchez como una de las figuras clave en las letras latinoamericanas. Para entender un texto tan innovador el lector tiene que volver a los cuentos de En cuerpo de camisa (1966) y a otros relatos anteriores en los que se halla el germen de los malabarismos verbales que caracterizan la obra de madurez del autor, as� como su preocupaci�n por desentra�ar los problemas sociales de su pa�s desde la cultura popular urbana.
En cuentos ya cl�sicos como Aleluya negra , Que sabe a para�so o Espuelas el autor explora la discriminaci�n racial o la identidad puertorrique�a, el vac�o existencial y la frustraci�n de la clase media, la sexualidad festiva o la cr�tica feroz al sistema burocr�tico a trav�s de un lenguaje que desarrolla lo que el propio autor defini� como una po�tica de lo soez .
Imposible entender a Roma sin Virgilio, a Italia sin Dante, a Espa�a sin Cervantes, a Argentina sin Borges. Igualmente es imposible entender al Puerto Rico contempor�neo sin Luis Rafael S�nchez. Las culturas constituidas siempre descansan sobre los hombros de sus grandes artistas . --Luce L�pez-Baralt y An�bal Gonz�lez
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
In 1976, La guaracha del Macho Camacho was published, establishing Luis Rafael S�nchez as a key figure in Latin American literature. To fully grasp such an innovative text, readers must return to the stories from "En cuerpo de camisa" (1966) and other earlier works, where the seeds of the verbal acrobatics that define the author's mature writing can be found, along with his concern for unraveling his country's social issues through urban popular culture.
In now-classic stories such as "Aleluya negra," "Que sabe a para�so," and "Espuelas," the author explores racial discrimination and Puerto Rican identity, existential emptiness and middle-class frustration, festive sexuality, and fierce criticism of the bureaucratic system--through a language shaped by what the author himself called a "poetics of the profane."
"It's impossible to understand Rome without Virgil, Italy without Dante, Spain without Cervantes, Argentina without Borges. Likewise, it is impossible to understand contemporary Puerto Rico without Luis Rafael S�nchez. Established cultures always rest on the shoulders of their great artists." --Luce L�pez-Baralt and An�bal Gonz�lez
