Un refrescante y original giro postcolonial a Un cuento de Navidad, de Charles Dickens, por el galardonado autor Raúl Palma. Situada en Miami, la multiétnica y multicultural ciudad natal de Raúl, la novela explora el problema del endeudamiento y, en particular, del peso económico y físico de moverse por un mundo donde las probabilidades parecen siempre favorecer a ricos y poderosos. Un moderno Bob Cratchit, Hugo Contreras, vive en un húmedo departamento de una sola habitación y sabe que nunca dejará de pagar las cuentas médicas de su difunta esposa ni sus propias deudas, acumuladas durante su juventud. Su Scrooge es Alexi Ramírez, un avaricioso abogado de cobranza cubano-americano con un rostro familiar por sus anuncios en las paradas de autobús y un serio problema personal: un fantasma en el caserón de su familia. Es bajo estas circunstancias que los dos hombres se conocen, ya que Hugo trabaja como babalao, ayudando a los habitantes de Miami a limpiar sus hogares de malos espíritus. Desde hace mucho ya no cree en lo paranormal, pero cuando Alexi, a quien Hugo abomina porque ha estado quitándole su dinero durante años, le promete perdonarle la deuda a cambio de sus servicios, no se puede negar. Dispuesto a salir de deudas y vengarse en nombre de su difunta esposa, Hugo hará lo que ha hecho con decenas de clientes antes: usar trucos psicológicos amateurs para convencer a Alexi de que los espíritus ya se han ido y escapar libre de deudas antes de la próxima Navidad. Por supuesto, la vida en el sistema capitalista corrupto nunca es tan simple, en especial cuando involucra sueños perturbadoramente vívidos de Navidades pasadas y presentes, infecciones de transmisión sexual, catálogos de decoración para el hogar y un mal antiguo que ha estado vigilando a Hugo desde su infancia en las minas de plata de Bolivia. La historia personal de Hugo --incluyendo un peligroso cruce a Estados Unidos de niño y las desgarradoras circunstancias de la muerte de su esposa Meli que lo atormentan-- colisiona con los demonios de Alexi en un clímax (literalmente) explosivo que obliga a Hugo a decidir si quiere vivir como un hombre libre de deudas o condenarse a cubrir las deudas de sus seres queridos muertos. Con un toque del humor satírico de El vendido, de Paul Beatty, la conciencia política de El tigre blanco, de Aravind Adiga, y el aire de mezcla de géneros de El Diablo en plata, de Víctor LaValle, Un fantasma en el Jardín Hialeah reimagina el clásico de Dickens para reflejar un nuevo siglo y la brillante exploración de la invisibilidad y la extrema influencia que tienen las deudas en las vidas de la gente en el siglo XXI.ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A bracingly original, postcolonial riff on Charles Dickens's The Christmas Carol by award-winning debut author Raul Palma. Set in Raul's multiethnic and multicultural home city of Miami, the novel explores the problem of indebtedness--and specifically, the financial and psychic weight of moving through a world where the odds seem to always favor the rich and powerful. A modern-day Bob Cratchit, living in a dank efficiency apartment, Hugo Contreras knows he will never stop paying for his late wife's medical debts or for his own debt accumulated in his youth. His Scrooge is Alexi Ramirez, an avaricious Cuban American debt-collection attorney with a face familiar from his bus stop ads and a serious problem of his own: a haunting at his family's McMansion. It's under these circumstances that the two men meet face to face, for Hugo works as a babaláwo, helping people in Miami cleanse their homes of evil. He's long since stopped believing in the supernatural himself, but when Alexi, whom Hugo despises for garnering his wages for years, promises to forgive Hugo's debts in exchange for his services, he can't refuse. Intent on both escaping his debt and exacting revenge for his late wife, Hugo will do what he's done with dozens of clients before: use slight-of-hand and amateur psychology to convince Alexi the spirits have departed and escape debt-free before the coming Christmas holiday. Of course, life in a corrupt capitalist system is never that simple, especially when it involves disturbingly vivid dreams of Christmases past and present, sexually transmitted infections, home décor catalogues, and an ancient devil who has been keeping tabs on Hugo since his childhood in the Bolivian silver mines. Hugo's personal history--including a fraught crossing to the United States as a boy and the wrenching, guilt-ridden circumstances of the death of his wife Meli--collide with Alexi's demons in a (literally) explosive climax that forces Hugo to decide whether he will live as a debt-free man, or consign himself to the debts of his lost loved ones. With a touch of the satiric humor of Paul Beatty's The Sellout, the political consciousness of Aravind Adiga's The White Tiger, and the genre-bending flair of Victor LaValle's The Devil in Silver, A HAUNTING IN HIALEAH GARDENS reimagines Dickens's classic to reflect a new century and a brilliant exploration of the invisibility and extreme influence that debt has over the lives of people in the 21st century.

It was the perfect suit for our big day!
Size: X-Small, Color: Purple, Size: X-Small, Color: Purple
Purple size xs. He's 5'9" 145-150lbs. Very impressed with this suit. The color and pattern is awesome. The fit was good. I would say this suit runs large. Usually he wears a Medium in everything but ordered an XS and it fit very well. The pants were long we had to get those hemmed. There was a few stray strings by the end of the night in areas of the suit. But overall good quality. And for a great price.

We were excited and I wanted to like it but...
Size: X-Small, Color: Black, Size: X-Small, Color: Black
We ordered this for Prom and it was supposed to be a size small, which was available for Prime ordering, but had to settle for xsmall. The pants, fortunately fit well and just need to be hemmed, the vest is great and the jacket is snug. My son has broad shoulders and I was hesitant to buy the xsmall, but it does fit just right. The only thing he would need to do is unbutton the jacket while he is dancing and maybe take it off while seated and eating dinner before prom. The material is surprisingly nice and has weight to it. I was relieved it isn't flimsy. The overall look on my son is smooth and we love the pattern and the material has shine to it. I was not happy that right out of the package, the button to the jacket could potentially fall off during because it doesn't look securely sewed in. The side of the right side of the jacket has thread already coming apart. And I found a little snag in a different location. I'm really not happy about that. I posted photos so you can see what I mean. We were excited about this suit, but it's going back. The company needs to do better with quality control.

Excellent Suit for the Money. Great, rich details.
Size: X-Large, Color: Black
This is a stunning piece of clothing. The material for the vests and pants are so luxurious and make it look like you spent a lot of money. Great versatility and thick material of great quality. The material is made of a rich fabric that feels subtle and gentle, but with the patterns showing well. It fits well and allows for movement. Whether you are looking for a wedding suit, or something to wear to a gala or bow-tie event, this is it.

Buy the suit. Be sure to measure!
Size: Large, Color: Red, Size: Large, Color: Red
Suit looks better than the photo in person. The suit is also made well. Great fabric and pattern!
My son is 6'1 and weighs around 135-140 pounds. I ordered a size large for him so the pants would be long enough. The pants were a little big but it was nothing a belt could not fix. The jacket and vest fit well too. The item also arrived on time.
***Suit runs small BUT if you take out time to do the measurements you will get the correct size.***
