Description

Invéntate un personaje. No importan el color, el sexo o la religión, ni tampoco la especie. Con esta única directriz, Zadie Smith invitó a los mejores escritores anglosajones de su generación a crear un relato para una antología. El resultado es El libro de los otros, veintiuna historias asombrosas que suponen una excelente introducción a la obra de un selecto grupo de autores de gran talento, provenientes de ambos lados del Atlántico, entre los que se encuentra la propia Zadie Smith. Los protagonistas de cada relato son, en su mayoría, humanos, pero también hay un monstruo con una crisis de identidad, un gigante que sufre por amor y un cachorro en busca de un hogar. Veintiuna voces que, como ocurre siempre en la buena literatura, no sólo hablan de sí mismas, sino de todos nosotros. Autores de los relatos: Edwige Danticat, Dave Eggers, Jonathan Safran Foer, Andrew Sean Greer, Aleksandar Hemon, A.M. Homes, Nick Hornby (con ilustraciones de Posy Simmonds), Heidi Julavits, Miranda July, A.L. Kennedy, Hari Kunzru, Jonathan Lethem, Toby Litt, David Mitchell, Andrew O’Hagan, ZZ Packer, George Saunders, Zadie Smith, Adam Thirlwell, Colm Tóibín, Vendela Vida
