   Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro.   ) booksandcats4ever | Jul 30, 2018 |  If you're a theater or movie fan, you'll like this one. (  ) SESchend | Sep 6, 2017 | The story seems more interested in bragging about their thorough knowledge of Broadway rather than what is essentially a piece of fluff written by Connie Willis, who I adore for her excellent novels All Clear, To Say Nothing of the Dog and the Doomsday Book. Nice short story, not a lot to recommend it, except perhaps a better understanding of Broadway and the art of acting. (  ) James_Mourgos | Dec 22, 2016 | ) wealhtheowwylfing | Feb 29, 2016 | It is certainly the thing of the main character in this book, though - an aging actress, who, much against her expectations, finds an emotional bond with a lifelike robot whose one dream in 'life' is to become a Rockette. Although extremely short, the book is witty, touches thoughtfully on quite a few ethical questions, and is very touching. I cried. On the subway. Side note: Yay for the public library! Because $20.00 (the price of this book) is really just too much for one story - even if it is a very good story by a very good author. ( ) AltheaAnn | Feb 9, 2016 | sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Theater legend Claire Havilland fears she might be entering the Sunset Boulevard phase of her career. That is, until her manager arranges a media appearance with her biggest fan a famous artificial intelligence pioneer's teenage niece. After precocious Emily's backstage visit, Claire decides she's in a different classic film altogether. While unnaturally charming Emily swears she harbors no desire for the spotlight, Claire wonders if she hasn't met her very own Eve Harrington from All About Eve. But the story becomes more complex as dreams of fame give way to concerns about choice, free will, and identity. With this long, 17,000 word novelette, acclaimed author Connie Willis combines the glamour of old Hollywood and the eternal allure of Broadway to explore the cutting edge robotics of a richly-imagined near future. All About Emily is sure to join "The Last of the Winnebagos," "Inside Job" and "All Seated on the Ground" as one of multiple-award-winner Willis' seminal works.
