C O N D I T I O N : Very Good. Small amount of damage to head of spine. N O T E S: Paperback. Size: B Format (7¾" x 5¼"). C O N T E N T S : This collection of stories spans a period from 1975 to 1997, and is a good reflection of the range of Amis's writing. That writing is always skilful, and consistently seductive-- sometimes irritatingly so. Amis lures his reader into an intense interest in his characters, and then, in some unsettling way, encourages us to patronise or disparage them. It's an odd strategy, but it holds our attention. By making us uncomfortable about our own less admirable attitudes, Amis focuses us intently on his story line. In Coincidence of the Arts, Amis's targets are both the feckless painter Sir Rodney Peel, and the black doorman of his building and aspiring novelist Pharsin Courier, who turns to Peel for artistic encouragement. When Peel embarks on a curious sexual affair with a black waitress, it is sheer coincidence that she should turn out to be Pharsin's wife. The consequences reflect well on neither Peel nor Pharsin. In State of England, we smirk knowingly at Big Mal, a bullshitting East Ender trying to sort out his life at his small son's sports day, but are nevertheless compelled to find out what will become of him.

Col. Narradores Actuales. Traducción de Eduardo Hojman. "Así que he visto todas las clases: saltarines, mutilados, sumergidos con un peso, zambullidos, desangrados, flotadores, baleados, reventados. He visto los cadáveres muertos a golpes de bebés de un año. Los de nonagenarias violadas por pandillas. He visto cadáveres abandonados por tanto tiempo después de su muerte que la única posibilidad de deducir la fecha del deceso era el tamaño de los gusanos. Pero de todos los cuerpos que he visto, ninguno se me ha quedado grabado en mis entrañas como el cadáver de Jennifer Rockwell." Mike Hoolíhan, una mujer policía norteamericana, brillante y brutal, se encuentra ante el peor caso de su carrera: el presunto suicidio de la hija de su jefe, una joven perfecta que parecía tenerlo todo. Con ese punto de partida, el británico Martin Amis, autor de Campos de Londres, Dinero y La información, entre otros libros claves de la literatura de este fin de siglo, nos trae, en El tren de la noche, una novela impactante, de una fuerza y ferocidad desconocidas. ** Envío a todo el mundo - Worldwide shipping: US$ 11.50 **
