El narrador de esta novela es un adolescente inteligente y precoz, ha terminado el colegio y durante el verano trabaja en la galería de arte que su madre tiene en Manhattan y en la que casi nunca entra a nadie. Pese a haber sido admitido en la prestigiosa Universidad e Brown no está seguro de querer ir; lo que de verdad le gustaría es comprarse una casa en el campo y pasarse el día leyendo, sin ser molestado; detesta relacionarse con gente de su edad, a la que evita y con la que piensa que no tiene nada en común. La narración de James nos ofrece una sarcástica y divertida mirada sobre su confusa vida, sobre cómo su desestructurada familia y su psiquiatra tratan en vano de ayudarle, o sobre cómo intenta, torpemente, aclararse y salir de su aislamiento. Considerada por la crítica estadounidense como una de las mejores novelas que se han publicado en los últimos años sobre Nueva York, Algún día este dolor te será útil es una aguda y emotiva novela sobre un joven capaz de cuestionarse a sí mismo, a su familia y al tiempo que le ha tocado vivir.
James Sveck is an isolated young adult caught in the summer before he is to begin college at Brown University. The only person in his life with whom he is able to successfully relate to is his grandmother; otherwise, James prefers solitude. Cameron’s use of first-person narration allows the reader to create an intimate relationship with James as he works through his life and through the therapy sessions mandated by his parents. The reader learns about James’ present as he recounts the events of his days, but the reader also learns about James’s past through his reflection in therapy sessions.
