Moshfegh explora con macabro deleite todas las facetas oscuras y ridículas del ser humano, convenciéndonos con gran destreza de que son merecedoras de nuestra fascinación.»   —Virginia Feito, autora de \u003ci\u003eLa señora March\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e«Probar sus frases es como entrar en contacto con una alambrada ligeramente electrificada, [...] como ver a alguien sonreír con la boca llena de sangre». —Dwight Garner, \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eHay algo siniestro y desconcertante que atraviesa los relatos de Ottessa Moshfegh, algo peligroso, fascinante y a veces irresistiblemente divertido. Sus personajes son seres inestables: anhelan un gesto de ternura y desean, a su manera, convertirse en mejores personas; aun así, todos parecen moverse guiados por los impulsos más primarios. Débiles, retorcidos, a menudo estúpidos y crueles consigo mismos y con los demás: de esta extraña materia prima Moshfegh consigue extirpar una belleza oscura y eléctrica y que, en ella, lo que veamos sea en realidad nuestro propio reflejo.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNostalgia de otro mundo\u003c\/i\u003e reúne sus mejores relatos, ganadores de los premios Pushcart, O.

Simultaneously, I’m shocked and scandalized. She’s brilliant, this young woman.\"—David Sedaris\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOttessa Moshfegh's debut novel \u003ci\u003eEileen \u003c\/i\u003ewas one of the literary events of 2015. Garlanded with critical acclaim, it was named a book of the year by \u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe San Francisco Chronicle\u003c\/i\u003e, nominated for a National Book Critics Circle Award, short-listed for the Man Booker Prize, and won the PEN\/Hemingway Award for debut fiction. But as many critics noted, Moshfegh is particularly held in awe for her short stories. \u003ci\u003eHomesick for Another World\u003c\/i\u003e is the rare case where an author's short story collection is if anything more anticipated than her novel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd for good reason. There's something eerily unsettling about Ottessa Moshfegh's stories, something almost dangerous, while also being delightful, and even laugh-out-loud funny. Her characters  are all unsteady on their feet in one way or another; they all yearn for connection and betterment, though each in very different ways, but they are often tripped up by their own baser impulses and existential insecurities. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHomesick for Another World \u003c\/i\u003eis a master class in the varieties of self-deception across the gamut of individuals representing the human condition. But part of the unique quality of her voice, the echt Moshfeghian experience, is the way the grotesque and the outrageous are infused with tenderness and compassion. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMoshfegh is our Flannery O'Connor, and\u003ci\u003e Homesick for Another World\u003c\/i\u003e is her \u003ci\u003eEverything That Rises Must Converge\u003c\/i\u003e or \u003ci\u003eA Good Man is Hard to Find\u003c\/i\u003e. The flesh is weak; the timber is crooked; people are cruel to each other, and stupid, and hurtful. But beauty comes from strange sources. And the dark energy surging through these stories is powerfully invigorating. We're in the hands of an author with a big mind, a big heart, blazing chops, and a political acuity that is needle-sharp. The needle hits the vein before we even feel the prick.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51167762252064,"sku":"9788420439334","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0836\/3661\/7504\/files\/9788420439334.jpg?v=1769741838","url":"https:\/\/creativebysanchez.com\/products\/nostalgia-de-otro-mundo-homesick-for-another-world-stories","provider":"Creative By Sanchez","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
