Grand Union / Grand Union

Una deslumbrante colecci?n de relatos nominada a la medalla Carnegie.

A trav?s de diversas perspectivas, desde lo hist?rico y lo actual hasta la m?s absoluta distop?a, Grand Union es una reflexi?n estimulante y prof?tica sobre el tiempo y el espacio, la identidad y el renacimiento, los legados que acechan nuestro presente y los posibles futuros que amenazan con llegar. Con un despliegue de recursos formales --autoficci?n, experimentaci?n formal, ciencia ficci?n, surrealismo, s?tira social, par?bola y hasta una historia narrada por Dios-- al alcance de muy pocos, Grand Union posee una fluidez y una libertad narrativas que recuerdan a una improvisaci?n musical. Demuestra el calibre de una autora capaz de reinventarse con cada nuevo libro.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A dazzling collection of short fiction Zadie Smith has established herself as one of the most iconic, critically respected, and popular writers of her generation. In her first short story collection, she combines her power of observation and her inimitable voice to mine the fraught and complex experience of life in the modern world. Interleaving eleven completely new and unpublished stories with some of her best-loved pieces from The New Yorker and elsewhere, Smith presents a dizzyingly rich and varied collection of fiction. Moving exhilaratingly across genres and perspectives, from the historic to the vividly current to the slyly dystopian, Grand Union is a sharply alert and prescient collection about time and place, identity and rebirth, the persistent legacies that haunt our present selves and the uncanny futures that rush up to meet us. Nothing is off limits, and everything--when captured by Smith's brilliant gaze--feels fresh and relevant. Perfectly paced and utterly original, Grand Union highlights the wonders Zadie Smith can do.
