Overview

«Atemporal, monumental y brillante» (Star Tribune): la nueva novela de la «eterna candidata al Premio Nobel» (El Periódico de Catalunya).

John Earle McLaren, «Whitey», un hombre afable de sesenta y siete años y que durante un tiempo fue el popular alcalde de Hammond, presencia un altercado entre la policía y un joven de tez oscura al que han detenido sin motivo aparente. Tras verse moralmente obligado a intervenir, los dos agentes se ensañan con él con una fuerza tan inusitada que Whitey muere de un infarto. Este último acto heroico abre la puerta a una realidad bastante más oscura en la familia McLaren, cuyos cinco hijos afrontarán el duelo revelando sus prejuicios, rencores e inseguridades: desde el desdén racista hacia la nueva pareja de la madre hasta las estrategias sibilinas para hacerse con la mayor parte de la herencia. Bajo una fachada de respetabilidad se esconden unos cimientos podridos, que pueden hacer que la casa familiar acabe por derrumbarse.

«La escritora más sólida, ingeniosa, brillante, curiosa y creativa del momento» (Gillian Flynn) vuelve a la carga con «una de sus novelas más ambiciosas» (The Guardian) hasta el momento.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

“Timely, monumental. . .. Yet another piercing examination of American culture by the writer this reviewer considers our country's greatest living novelist. . .. It is brilliant. How blessed we are to have her as a novelist in our chaotic, confusing times. Night is spot-on for these times of racial divide, as well as in portraying the fractious family dynamic that many of us know all too well. . .. Night deserves the top spot on your quarantine nightstand. Here's a fervent salute to Oates, our finest American novelist, for this one.” -- Star Tribune

The bonds of family are tested in the wake of a profound tragedy, providing a look at the darker side of our society by one of our most enduringly popular and important writers.

Night. Sleep. Death. The Stars is a gripping examination of contemporary America through the prism of a family tragedy: when a powerful parent dies, each of his adult children react in startling and unexpected ways, his grieving widow in the most surprising way of all.

Stark and penetrating, Joyce Carol Oates’s latest novel is a vivid exploration of race, psychological trauma, class warfare, grief, and eventual healing, as well as an intimate family novel in the tradition of the author’s bestselling We Were the Mulvaneys.
