Aflicción por Russell Banks
Con Aflicción, una novela inolvidable que ha sido comparada con una tragedia griega, damos a conocer en España a uno de los mejores escritores norteamericanos contemporáneos, Russell Banks.

Nadie me ha incitado a revelar estas cosas, nadie me ha pedido que no lo haga." La película con el mismo nombre y guión de Paul Schrader está basada en esta obra, con Nick Nolte, James Coburn, Sissy Spacek, Willem Dafoe como protagonistas principales.… (más)
