“Escritores y amantes” confirmó a Lily King como una de las autoras más queridas de la ficción contemporánea. Ahora, por primera vez, King recopila diez de sus mejores relatos con los que permite tanto a viejos como a nuevos lectores descubrir nuevos mundos. Narrados a través de las voces íntimas de unos personajes únicos y entrañables de todas las edades, estos relatos exploran el deseo y el desamor, la pérdida y el descubrimiento, instantes de violencia sorprendente y la pulsión inexorable del amor a cualquier precio. El amor no confesado de un librero por su empleada sale a la luz; un adolescente desatendido descubre el cariño donde menos lo esperaba gracias a un par de universitarios a los que contratan para cuidar una casa; una chica pierde su inocencia a manos del hijo de su jefe, y este hecho se convierte en el catalizador a través del cual obtendrá fuerza y confianza; y una nonagenaria orgullosa se enfurece, impotente, en la habitación del hospital en la que se aloja su nieta. Estos relatos románticos, esperanzadores, cargados de una sinceridad implacable y, en ocasiones, casi surrealistas, permiten a King, por encima de todo, explorar una vez más el amor. La maestría literaria de King, su prosa deslumbrante y concisa, y su don para crear personajes memorables y entrañables lucen en todo su esplendor en esta selección de relatos.
Lily King, one of the most "brilliant" (New York Times Book Review), "wildly talented" (Chicago Tribune), and treasured authors of contemporary fiction, returns after her recent bestselling novels with Five Tuesdays in Winter, her first book of short fiction. Told in the intimate voices of complex, endearing characters, Five Tuesdays in Winter intriguingly subverts expectations as it explores desire, loss, jolting violence, and the inexorable tug toward love at all costs. A reclusive bookseller begins to feel the discomfort of love again. Two college roommates have a devastating middle-aged reunion. A proud old man rages powerlessly in his granddaughter's hospital room. A writer receives a visit from all the men who have tried to suppress her voice. Romantic, hopeful, brutally raw, and unsparingly honest, this wide-ranging collection of ten selected stories by one of our most accomplished chroniclers of the human heart is an exciting addition to Lily King's oeuvre of acclaimed fiction.
