It’s the eve of 1953, and Aloysius Archer is in Los Angeles to ring in the New Year with an old friend, aspiring actress Liberty Callahan, when their evening is interrupted by an acquaintance of Callahan’s: Eleanor Lamb, a screenwriter in dire straits.After a series of increasingly chilling events—mysterious phone calls, the same blue car loitering outside her house, and a bloody knife left in her sink—Eleanor fears that her life is in danger, and she wants to hire Archer to look into the matter. Archer suspects that Eleanor knows more than she’s saying, but before he can officially take on her case, a dead body turns up inside of Eleanor’s home . . . and Eleanor herself disappears. Missing client or not, Archer is dead set on finding both the murderer and Eleanor. With the help of Callahan and his partner Willie Dash, he launches an investigation that will take him from mob-ridden Las Vegas to the glamorous world of Hollywood to the darkest corners of Los Angeles—a city in which beautiful faces are attached to cutthroat schemers, where the cops can be more corrupt than the criminals . . . and where the powerful people responsible for his client’s disappearance will kill without a moment’s hesitation if they catch Archer on their trail.

Obra ganadora del Premi LlibreterThe Promise charts the crash and burn of a white South African family, living on a farm outside Pretoria. The Swarts are gathering for Ma's funeral. The younger generation, Anton and Amor, detest everything the family stand for -- not least the failed promise to the Black woman who has worked for them her whole life. After years of service, Salome was promised her own house, her own land... yet somehow, as each decade passes, that promise remains unfulfilled.The narrator's eye shifts and blinks: moving fluidly between characters, flying into their dreams deliciously lethal in its observation. And as the country moves from old deep divisions to its new so-called fairer society, the lost promise of more than just one family hovers behind the novel's title.In this story of a diminished family, sharp and tender emotional truths hit home. Confident, deft and quietly powerful, The Promise is literary fiction at its finest.

Hona zein den tragedia shakespearetar eta komedia txe-khovtar baten arteko alde nagusia: Shakespeareren tragedia baten amaieran agertokia gorpuz betea dagoela, pertsonaia hilez, eta beharbada justizia nagusitu da, beharbada. Txekhoven antzezlan baten bukaeran, jende guztia desilusionatua dago, guztiz joa, atsekabetua, adoregabetua, baina bizirik. Eta nik bizitza osoan sinetsi izan dut borroka egin behar genukeela, ez gatazka baten amaiera zoriontsu bat izateko –gatazken amaiera zoriontsuetan ez dut nik sinesten–, soluzio txekhovtar bat izateko baizik. ––––––––––––––––– Der grösste Unterschied zwischen der Shakespear’schen Tragödie und der Tschechow’schen Komödie liegt darin, dass am Ende der Tragödie nach Shakespeare die Bühne bedeckt ist mit Leichen, und vielleicht hat die Gerechtigkeit gesiegt, vielleicht. Am Ende eines Stückes von Tschechow sind alle enttäuscht, erschüttert, untröstlich, gebrochen – aber am Leben. Seit ich denken kann bin ich davon überzeugt, dass es nicht darum geht, für das glückliche Ende von Konflikten zu kämpfen – ich glaube bei Konflikten gibt es kein Happy End – sondern für eine Tschechowsche Lösung. ––––––––––––––––– La principal diferencia entre una tragedia de Shakespeare y una comedia de Chejov es que al finalizar una tragedia de Shakespeare el escenario está cubierto de cadáveres y quizás –solo quizás– se haya impuesto la justicia. Al término de una comedia de Chejov, todo el mundo está decepcionado, afligido, derrotado o desencantado, pero vivo. Y toda mi vida he pensado que deberíamos luchar no por un final feliz del conflicto –nunca he creído en los finales felices de los conflictos–, sino por una solución chejoviana.

Na kraju Cehovljeve drame svi su razocarani, skrhana srca, slomljeni, lišeni svih iluzija, ali su ipak živi. Cijeloga života vjerujem da se treba boriti ne za sretan ishod nekog sukoba – ja, naime, ne vjerujem u sretne ishode sukoba – vec za cehovljevsko rješenje. ––––––––––––––––– La principal diferencia entre una tragedia de Shakespeare y una comedia de Chejov es que al finalizar una tragedia de Shakespeare el escenario está cubierto de cadáveres y quizás –solo quizás– se haya impuesto la justicia.

La más alegre de sus novelas según Nabokov mismo. «Este fogoso animal es la más alegre de mis novelas», dijo Nabokov de Rey, Dama, Valet, una sátira en la que un jovencito miope, provinciano, mojigato y desprovisto de sentido del humor irrumpe en el frío paraíso de un matrimonio de nuevos ricos berlineses. La esposa seduce al recién llegado y le convierte en su amante. Poco después le convence para intentar eliminar al marido. Éste es el aparentemente sencillo planteamiento de la más clásica, quizá, de las novelas escritas por Nabokov. Pero, tras esa aparente ortodoxia se oculta una notable complejidad técnica, y, sobre todo, un tratamiento singular presidido por el tono de farsa.Publicada originalmente en Berlín, a finales de los años veinte, y ampliamente reelaborada por Nabokov en el momento de su traducción al inglés, a finales de los sesenta, Rey, Dama, Valet muestra un fuerte influjo del expresionismo alemán, especialmente del cinematográfico, y contiene un auténtico derroche de humor negro.Nabokov vapulea a sus personajes, los convierte en autómatas, se ríe de ellos a diabólicas carcajadas, caricaturizándolos con gruesos trazos que no impiden, sin embargo, que posean una verosimilitud que proporciona sostenida amenidad a toda la novela.
