Imagine Me Gone
Sobre el libro Imagine Me Gone de Adam Haslett publicado por Penguin Books S.A al 2016:
Michael is John and Margaret´s eldest son. He´s a precocious kid, smart and funny, obsessed with books and music. Even while he´s still very young, he finds himself at odds with his father in ways neither one quite understands. His sister Celia is the sensible one in the family: tougher than the boys, unshakeably certain about how the world works, desperate to impress her dad. And then there´s Alec, the youngest, the most ambitious and also the most sensitive. He grows up in the shadow of Michael´s distant coolness and Celia´s pragmatic confidence, never quite understanding his father´s strange games or keeping up with the others. The children are still living at home when their brilliant, beloved father walks into the woods by their house and take his own life. Years later, when they are adults, one of them will follow him. How are we damaged by what we are born into - by those we love or who have loved us? How much can any family give to save one of its own? And how can you tell the difference between what is passed on and what is simply imitated or learned by habit - between the truly inherited flaw and the self-fulfilling prophecy...?Altres llibres de Adam Haslett
