Description
Regresa Richard Price, la mente detrás de The Wire, con la historia del colapso de un barrio de Nueva York.

«Price vuelve a demostrar que es el bardo de la vida callejera en Nueva York'. - Publishers Weekly

Es 2008, y un colapso inesperado sacude las calles de Harlem: un edificio de cinco plantas se derrumba, dejando una nube blanca de escombros que lo cubre todo. Mientras los servicios de emergencia y los periodistas irrumpen en escena, el vecindario se sumerge en el caos. Aparecen seis cuerpos sin vida, y hay desaparecidos. Mary Roe, veterana agente del cuerpo de policía desgastada por su trabajo, se obsesiona por hallar a uno de ellos. Felix Pearl, joven fotógrafo recién llegado a la ciudad, capta el horror del derrumbe y la vida del barrio. Royal Davis, propietario de una funeraria al borde de la quiebra, husmea entre los restos de la tragedia en busca de «clientes' que le ayuden a sacar su negocio adelante. Y Anthony Carter, tras un par de días sepultado bajo toneladas de ladrillo, emerge milagrosamente de entre las ruinas para convertirse en un hombre nuevo con una misión y un poderoso mensaje.

Tras casi una década de silencio, regresa Richard Price, autor de The Wire y Los impunes, para mostrar, con un coro de personajes inolvidables y su habitual mirada penetrante, las aristas de toda una comunidad; todo ello lo confirma como uno de los grandes maestros literarios de la vida urbana estadounidense.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Richard Price, the mind behind The Wire, returns with the story of the collapse of a New York neighborhood.

"Price proves once again that he is the bard of street life in New York." -- Publishers Weekly

It's 2008, and an unexpected collapse rocks the streets of Harlem: a five-story building crumbles, leaving a white cloud of debris covering everything. As emergency services and journalists rush to the scene, the neighborhood is plunged into chaos. Six bodies are found, and others are missing. Mary Roe, a veteran police officer worn down by her job, becomes obsessed with finding one of them. Felix Pearl, a young photographer new to the city, captures the horror of the collapse and the life of the neighborhood. Royal Davis, owner of a funeral home on the brink of bankruptcy, rummages through the wreckage of the tragedy in search of "customers" to help him keep his business afloat. And Anthony Carter, after a couple of days buried under tons of bricks, miraculously emerges from the ruins to become a new man with a mission and a powerful message.

After almost a decade of silence, Richard Price, author of The Wire and The Unforgiven, returns to show, with a chorus of unforgettable characters and his usual penetrating gaze, the rough edges of an entire community, confirming his status as one of the great literary masters of American urban life.
