LUIS RAFAEL SÁNCHEZ
Author of original novel
Sánchez published La guaracha del Macho Camacho (Macho Camacho’s Beat) in 1976. The novel was the first by a major Puerto Rican playwright, whose ability to find beauty and meaning in chaotic urbanity is rich, funny, and heartfelt. The novel was keen insight into postmodern life, and it has left a meteoric impact in the literary world.
