El Vendedor de Sueos
Autor Ernesto Quinonezes Limba Spaniolă Paperback – 3 mar 2014
"Una provocativa y estimulante primera novela envuelta en el espectacular y andrajoso manto de sueños que queda del Harlem hispano". -Salon "Quiñonez tiene el oído de un poeta para los ritmos y modismos del spanglish del barrio, el don de un brujo para describir su alma, y una energía callejera intensa e implacable". -Publisher's Weekly ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In this "thriller with literary merit" (Time Out New York), a stunning narrative combines the gritty rhythms of Junot Diaz with the noir genius of Walter Mosley. Bodega Dreams pulls us into Spanish Harlem, where the word is out: Willie Bodega is king. Need college tuition for your daughter? Start-up funds for your fruit stand? Bodega can help. He gives everyone a leg up, in exchange only for loyalty--and a steady income from the drugs he pushes. Lyrical, inspired, and darkly funny, this powerful debut novel brilliantly evokes the trial of Chino, a smart, promising young man to whom Bodega turns for a favor. Chino is drawn to Bodega's street-smart idealism, but soon finds himself over his head, navigating an underworld of switchblade tempers, turncoat morality, and murder. "Bodega is a fascinating character. . . . The story [Quiñonez] tells has energy and verve." --The New York Times Book Review
