Nikolski

Resumen del Libro

This is a story of three characters--Noah, Joyce, and the anonymous narrator--as each leave their far-flung birthplaces to follow their own personal songs of migration. All three end up in Montreal, each on his or her voyage of selfdiscovery, each compelled to deal with the mishaps of heartbreak and the twisted branches of their shared family tree. Filled with humor, charm, and marvelous storytelling, this novel links cartography, garbage-obsessed archeologists, pirates past and present, a mysterious book with no cover, and a broken compass whose needle obstinately points to the Aleutian village of Nikolski (a minuscule village inhabited by thirty-six people, five thousand sheep, and an indeterminate number of dogs). This is a sweet, well-told story about three characters who break free from their families in order to live authentically.

Así que a veces, si no hay algo raro, ¡me lo invento! Seguro que hay cosas que nunca te has planteado... ¿Existen los fantasmas? ¿Por qué los extraterrestres tienen la cara ovalada? ¿Quién se esconde detrás del Fabio que ves en tu pantalla? Pues yo sí me lo planteo a diario. Porque te voy a contar un secreto: todos los días me pasan cosas que no tienen explicación. MUY FUERTE, ¿verdad?
