Jóvenes hombres lobo
by Michael ChabonEn estos relatos que nos presenta Michael Chabon, la madurez es un proceso de transformación casi mutante. «De todos los autores que se publican ahora, Chabon es quizá quien ha encontrado una voz propia más clara y que conecta mejor con el lector medio.»Jordi Puntí, Babelia «Apasionante.»Francisco Casavella, El Mundo «Michel Chabon es uno de los jóvenes novelistas norteamericanos con un estilo más elegante, pretendidamente sencillo y mágicamente directo. Las tramas de sus novelas y cuentos aúnan eso tan difícil de conseguir como es un argumento sugerente, con rasgos donde se dan cita el ingenio, la ternura y la comicidad.»Diego Doncel, El Cultural «Entre los jóvenes valores de la actual literatura norteamericana, Michael Chabon es probablemente el menos abiertamente experimental y el que mejor conecta con las mejores virtudes del clasicismo de la llamada generación del New Yorker, es decir, escritores como Truman Capote, J. D. Salinger o John Cheever.»Mauricio Bach, La Vanguardia

For this role, an unwitting young Earth girl, Tiffany Collins is chosen and brought to Gor.
