Synopsis "Venganza (in Spanish)"

Una brecha en el corazon humano que permite atisbar las pesadillas ocultas.Estas historias parecen penetrar hasta el corazon del mundo para descubrir que es un lugar frio y espeluznante. Hilary Mantel Al leer Venganza uno queda atrapado en una telaraña hermosa, letal. Words Without Borders No solo es Murakami, sino tambien la sombra de Borges lo que planea sobre este fascinante libro. NPR El efecto general es el de David Lynch. The Economist Ogawa es la maestra japonesa del terror. The New York Observer Como Haruki Murakami, Ogawa escribe historias que navegan libremente en cualquier cultura, y que, en cambio, se anclan en el paisaje de la mente. The Washington Post Una mujer que espera a que la atiendan en una pasteleria desvela su tragedia: va a comprar dos tartitas de fresas con nata para celebrar el cumpleaños de su hijo, un niño que, sin embargo, murio años atras. Asi arranca este volumen compuesto por once cuentos entrelazados. Los protagonistas no tienen, aparentemente, nada en comun: dos alumnos de instituto, una novelista y su extraña casera, un joven que viaja al entierro de su madre adoptiva, dos trabajadoras de hospital, una joven que trata de descubrir la infidelidad de su marido o una insistente mujer empeñada en seguir a un periodista que redacta un reportaje sobre un hotel de lujo. Sin embargo, poco a poco el lector vuelve a encontrarselos, para acabar revelando un aspecto oculto del ser humano.
