Overview
Un retrato tragicómico y nostálgico de la industria musical estadounidense desde los años sesenta hasta hoy. Premio Pulitzer
Ganadora del Premio Pulitzer (2011) y elegida como uno de los mejores libros de la década por la revista Time, esta novela está compuesta por trece historias interconectadas que giran alrededor de la vida de Bennie Salazar, antiguo rockero punk envejecido y ejecutivo discográfico, y Sasha, su apasionada y problemática asistente. Una historia generacional con múltiples caídas que abordan desde la contracultura de San Francisco en los años setenta hasta el hastío de los noventa y la incertidumbre posterior al 11S.
Con la música palpitando en cada página, Egan muestra los efectos del tiempo y la tecnología en las personas, así como las transformaciones que provocan en nuestras vidas.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCE WINNER
With music pulsing on every page, this startling, exhilarating novel of self-destruction and redemption "features characters about whom you come to care deeply as you watch them doing things they shouldn't, acting gloriously, infuriatingly human" (The Chicago Tribune).
Bennie is an aging former punk rocker and record executive. Sasha is the passionate, troubled young woman he employs. Here Jennifer Egan brilliantly reveals their pasts, along with the inner lives of a host of other characters whose paths intersect with theirs.
“Pitch perfect.... Darkly, rippingly funny.... Egan possesses a satirist’s eye and a romance novelist’s heart.” —The New York Times Book Review
