About this listen
Esta deliciosa novela, autobiográfica en la forma pero no en los contenidos, muestra toda la maestría y el peculiar modo de ver la realidad de esta gran figura de las letras contemporáneas.
"¿Cómo lo hará Alice Munro? Lo que consigue parece magia." (Sara Mesa)
"Alice Munro tiene una mente prodigiosa. Es precisa, natural y cuenta como nadie la interioridad y el fluir de vidas enteras en unas pocas páginas." (Rodrigo Muñoz Avia)
La vida de la gente, en Jubilee como en todas partes, era aburrida, simple, asombrosa e insondable...cuevas profundas cubiertas de linóleo de cocina.
Bastan estas pocas palabras para reconocer el talento de una espléndida narradora y colarse en la vida de Del Jordan, una chiquilla que vive con sus padres en el pueblo de Jubilee.
Del empieza contando su día a día, su relación con la familia, los vecinos y los amigos, y pronto descubrimos que esa niña sabe observar el mundo y sacar buen provecho de lo que ve: compadece la poquedad del padre, admira el arrojo de la madre, que deja la granja para dedicarse a vender enciclopedias por los alrededores, y comprende que tarde o temprano llega el momento en que hay que elegir entre una risueña mediocridad - hogar, iglesia, matrimonio, hijos - y otras opciones más interesantes y arriesgadas. Ese descubrimiento es también el de la vocación literaria, una suerte de llamada, de deber para con el mundo.
Reseña:
"Una escritora en la que mirarse." (Dolores Redondo, Mujer Hoy)
"Me habría gustado escribir cualquier cuento de Alice Munro. Me parece una maestra. Me ha ayudado a escribir sobre la maternidad, la amistad entre mujeres, las relaciones entre madres e hijas." (Elvira Lindo, La 2 de TVE)
"Lo asombroso es ver que hace cuarenta años Munro estaba ya en posesión y pleno dominio de su hermoso instrumento verbal, por encima de todo eficaz, que ahora me parece único. Y envidiable." (Robert Saladrigas, Cultura/s, La Vanguardia)

Story
La esperada novela de Kazuo Ishiguro tras el "Premio Nobel". Una historia de ciencia ficción que indaga en lo que nos hace humanos. Klara es una AA, una Amiga Artificial, especializada en el cuidado de niños. Pasa sus días en una tienda, esperando a que alguien la adquiera y se la lleve a una casa, un hogar. Mientras espera, contempla el exterior desde el escaparate. Observa a los transeúntes, sus actitudes, sus gestos, su modo de caminar, y es testigo de algunos episodios que no acaba de entender, como una extraña pelea entre dos taxistas.

Story
The Years is a personal narrative of the period of 1941 to 2006 told through the lens of memory, impressions past and present - even projections into the future - photos, books, songs, radio, television, and decades of advertising and headlines, contrasted with intimate conflicts and written notes from six decades of diaries. Local dialect, words of the time, slogans, brands, and names for ever-proliferating objects are given a voice here. The voice we recognize as the author's continually dissolves and re-emerges.

También es un malévolo enano que destroza cristales; un ser vulnerable, enamorado siempre de alguna mujer a la que idealiza; un superdotado obsesionado por el sexo; un ser de pestañas negras y bellas manos y un repulsivo jorobado; un asesino por encima de cualquier moralidad que no vacila en eliminar a quien lo molesta pero consigue crear con su tambor una música arrebatadora.

Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

Story
My fiancé brought me tea and scrambled eggs in bed that morning, and we snuggled together, talking about buying our rings, and about our perfect wedding next year. Then we headed into town. He held my hand and gazed at the ring I liked best, a smile spreading slowly over his face. Then a glass of bubbly to celebrate. I felt flushed, excited and ready for the rest of my life with the man I loved. We race to get on the train home. It screams to a halt and I run towards its open doors. Made it. I think he’s right behind me — but when I turn around, he’s gone.

Story
Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Story
Johnnie Rico never really intended to join up—and definitely not the infantry. But now that he’s in the thick of it, trying to get through combat training harder than anything he could have imagined, he knows everyone in his unit is one bad move away from buying the farm in the interstellar war the Terran Federation is waging against the Arachnids. Because everyone in the Mobile Infantry fights. And if the training doesn’t kill you, the Bugs are more than ready to finish the job.

Story
When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.

La gran novelista, premio Nobel.
La lectura extraordinaria, narrativa pulcra y evidentemente escrita con generalidad; historia fascinante que describe la vida de la mujer. Soy casado, con una maravillosa mujer que tiene gran intelecto, yo la considero "genial" y por ello mismo mis hijas son increíbles en sus profesiones, trabajos y en su vida. Esta novela me enseñó o mejor dicho acabé de entender.
¡Gracias y lo recomiendo!
