A NEW YORK TIMES TOP TEN BOOK OF 2024
A NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY TOP TEN BOOK OF THE YEAR
"Short, strange, spiky and sublime.” —Dwight Garner, New York Times
“Funny, ghastly, eye-opening, marvelous.” —Wall Street Journal
From the visionary author of Sudden Death, a hallucinatory, revelatory colonial revenge story.
One morning in 1519, conquistador Hernán Cortés enters the city of Tenochtitlan – today's Mexico City. Later that day, he will meet the emperor Moctezuma in a collision of two worlds, two empires, two languages, two possible futures.
Cortés is accompanied by his captains, his troops, his prized horses, and his two translators: Friar Aguilar, a taciturn friar, and Malinalli, an enslaved, strategic Nahua princess. After nearly bungling their entrance to the city, the Spaniards are greeted at a ceremonial welcome meal by the steely Aztec princess Atotoxtli, sister and wife of Moctezuma. As they await their meeting with the emperor – who is at a political and spiritual crossroads, and relies on hallucinogens to get by – Cortés and his entourage are ensconced in the labyrinthine palace. Soon, one of Cortés’s captains, Jazmín Caldera, overwhelmed by the grandeur of the place, begins to question the ease with which they were welcomed into the city, and wonders at the chances of getting out alive, much less conquering the empire. And what if... they don't?
You Dreamed of Empires brings Tenochtitlan to life at its height, and reimagines its destiny. The incomparably original Álvaro Enrigue sets afire the moment of conquest and turns it into a moment of revolution, a restitutive, fantastical counterattack, in a novel so electric and so unique that it feels like a dream.

Smell expensive, you deserve it.
My wife bought me some Cremo body wash a year ago, bourbon and vanilla. It smelled great. Only drawback was the smell didn't stick around on my skin. Then 2 weeks ago she brought home the Distiller's blend Smooth and Oaky. I used it and it the smell last almost a full 24 hrs, depending on what my activity level is. Now, since the Smooth and oaky has been discontinued we buy the Palo Santo scent. Both smell terrific and last awhile. Bought the package deal fir my son. It came with Shampoo+conditioner, body wash and antiperspirant deodorant. My son said the deodorant it absolutely the best and last throughout his work shift. Take your pick, you'll smell terrific and your wife will definitely think so as well.

Body wash is great … the packaging, not so much
The scent of the body wash is fantastic, exactly what I was expecting as hoping for. For packaging, however, needs improvement. As other reviewers have noted, my bottle leaked in transport. Cremo needs to up their game, perhaps cellowraping the product to alleviate this issue. One star off because of this problem.

A great clean feeling and moisturizing product! Cremo is the best!
I love Cremo body washes because they smell phenomenal and are moisturizing. I have been stopped many times and asked what cologne I had on because the scent stays strong for hours. Strong but not overbearing. I always proudly tell them it's Cremo. This was a new scent to me, but after being a lover of Palo Santo and especially Distillers Blend I wanted to try it.
