About this listen
De la autora de El año del pensamiento mágico, una novela perturbadora sobre la realidad de ser mujer. Un clásico de la literatura norteamericana.
A sus treinta años, Maria Wyeth se encuentra emocionalmente a la deriva y ajena a todo lo que la rodea. Su carrera de actriz se ha limitado a papeles en películas de tercera y siempre ha vivido a la sombra de su marido, un reconocido director de Hollywood que nunca le ha permitido tomar sus propias decisiones con respecto a su hija de cuatro años, recluida en un centro médico para niños con necesidades especiales, ni con respecto a su nuevo embarazo.
Con una mirada implacable y una voz inconfundible, Didion disecciona sin contemplaciones la sociedad estadounidense de finales de los años sesenta, explorando por un lado la realidad de ser mujer en una sociedad en la que siempre han prevalecido las necesidades masculinas y, por otro, capturando el estado de ánimo de toda una generación que vive bajo el engaño de las apariencias, la amoralidad, las consecuencias del liberalismo extremo y el hastío generalizado del individuo contemporáneo.
Incluida por la revista Time en su lista de las mejores cien novelas en lengua inglesa publicadas entre 1923 y 2005, Según venga el juego está considerada, después de más de cuatro décadas desde su publicación, un clásico moderno de las letras norteamericanas y una de las mejores novelas de Joan Didion.
Críticas:
«No ha habido otro escritor norteamericano con el nivel de Joan Didion desde Nathanael West. [...] Un libro espectacular.»
John Leonard, The New York Times
«Sencillo, comedido, inteligente, bien estructurado, ocurrente, irresistiblemente implacable, punzante y libre de sensacionalismos. Según venga el juego es un libro sobresaliente y de una excepcional calidad literaria.»
Library Journal
«Una novela mordaz que destila veneno en gotas minúsculas.»
J.R. Frakes, Book World

Story
Cuando Eufrasia Vela empieza a trabajar como cuidadora de ancianos, no sospecha que su oficio la llevará a una encrucijada existencial. La íntima relación que mantiene con doña Carmen, el doctor Harrison y Los Siete Magníficos—entrañables personajes que se apoderan de su pensamiento y su cariño—la obliga a replantearse su papel de madre y hermana, las vicisitudes de la longevidad, las formas de la compasión y el sorpresivo valor que los cuyes, esos conejillos de Indias tan peculiares, adquieren en su presupuesto moral.

Story
Una voz sorprendente, un bellísimo y osado ejercicio de literatura que mezcla obras de arte, vidas de artistas y la intimidad de la narradora. Este es un audiolibro hecho de miradas. Miradas sobre cuadros, sobre los artistas que los pintaron y sobre la intimidad de la narradora y su entorno. Este es un audiolibro singular y fascinante, inclasificable, en el que la vida y el arte se entretejen. Consta de once partes: once partes que son once capítulos de una novela que relata una historia personal y familiar, pero que también pueden leerse como once cuentos.

Timothy and Jonah, wealthy entrepreneurs with a spoiled son, hide sins from their past—one involving a death on a cruise, the other a crime in Bali. Nathan and Samantha, the hot ex-nanny turned trophy wife, grapple with infertility and a shocking paternity secret. Bartosz and Angelika (he’s a chef, she’s a former sex worker) carry debts to the other couples they don’t even realize they owe. Over fourteen days, the couples bond—but their pasts are too deeply intertwined to stay hidden. The sly concierge, Putu, knows more than he lets on.

Annie has always had high hopes for her future. But the reality of her life just isn’t measuring up. She loves her fiancé, Greg–doesn’t she? She’s going to get her degree and open her own business–won’t she? Then, a strange old woman shows up outside her house, and she seems to know a lot about Annie. An awful lot. Annie could tell the old woman to get lost. Yet there’s something about her Annie just can’t shake. And what she learns could change her life forever–but is it the life she envisioned?

Story
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.

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.

Who is Audrey Hoedemaker? It's a question her sister Maureen has heard more times than she can count, and she doesn't know what the short answer would be. Little sister, troubled teen, backpacker, musical theatre coach, con artist, childcare worker. Murderer. A tragic, traumatic childhood casts a long shadow on the Hoedemaker sisters. Maureen has worked hard to move beyond the violence of the past and build a good, honest life for herself. Audrey, however, just can't seem to do the same, careening from one state of chaos to another.

Descripción de un mundo de frivolidades.
Se dice que Didion fue una mujer, no solo inteligente sino, que muy observadora. Aquí, hace gala de describir, a través del grupo que conforman los miembros que rodean a la protagonista (Maria), con una conducta liberal y escasamente empática, y con marcado predominio hedonista. Maria, neurótica y buscando su autodestrucción. Por ser una novela basada en diálogos, hubiera sido fácil, adaptarla al teatro o haberla llevado al cine. La narración estuvo muy acertada.
