Reseñas
Cuando el padre de Ned vuelve de la guerra tiene claro lo que quiere hacer con su vida: beber, ir de putas y apostar a los caballos. Las relaciones con la madre de Ned son tormentosas y acaban en un tiroteo conyugal sin muertos. Y tras la fugaz aventura de su madre con un sacerdote, Ned se marchará a vivir con su padre en un mundo de bares, salones de billar y amistades viriles.

Ahora los dos están de vuelta en Cape Cod –donde, además, él pasaba los veranos de su niñez– para celebrar el matrimonio de la mejor amiga de su hija Laura. Jack se dedica a dar vueltas en el coche con las cenizas de su padre en el maletero mientras su madre le llama con frecuencia al móvil. El novio de Laura parece prometedor y un año después, en la boda de su hija, Jack tiene otra urna de cenizas en el coche, y Joy y él han ido con nuevas parejas…… (más)
It’s always a pleasure to read a new book by Richard Russo and, although I don’t think this collection is the best place to start reading his work (I would recommend starting with novels such as “Nobody’s Fool” or “A Straight Man”), this collection compiling four long stories didn’t disappoint me at all: 100% Russo and a pleasure to read. I enjoyed the four stories, but my highlight was the second and longest one, “Voice”.
