Reviews
"Jorge Volpi's Season of Ash is the kind of novel that reminds me why I read novels in the first place, but it's also the kind that makes me wonder why I bother to write ... Volpi is a genius ... you have to buy this book, and ... he'll end up with the Nobel Prize in Literature if there is any justice in the world."--Okla Elliott, Inside Higher Ed "Volpi's Season of Ash is a comprehensive attempt to dramatize the histroical, scientific, and cultural forces at play in the least seventy years of the twentieth century."--Alan Davis, The Hudson Review, "Jorge Volpi's Season of Ash is the kind of novel that reminds me why I read novels in the first place, but it's also the kind that makes me wonder why I bother to write ... Volpi is a genius ... you have to buy this book, and ... he'll end up with the Nobel Prize in Literature if there is any justice in the world."--Okla Elliott, Inside Higher Ed "Volpi's Season of Ash is a comprehensive attempt to dramatize the historical, scientific, and cultural forces at play in the least seventy years of the twentieth century."--Alan Davis, The Hudson Review "Every generation or so a writer comes along who liberates his peers from oppressive expectations of what Latin American fiction is supposed to be. Jorge Volpi's In Search of Klingsorwoke everybody up!"--Francisco Goldman

Synopsis
"Jorge Volpi will be one of the stars of Spanish literature of this century."--Carlos Fuentes The Soviet biologist Irina Granina has experienced the worst of Communism, struggling to free her husband from the gulag for years. Following the rise of Gorbachev, her husband finally emerges a changed man, but then Irina is forced to witness the worst of capitalism, as her daughter Oksana disappears into the newly rapacious consumer society and she loses her husband again, this time to greed and a lust for power. In the West, Jennifer Moore, the scion of blue-blooded American wealth, takes a high-ranking job at the International Monetary Fund, where she hopes to bring the tough love of the free market economy to the unenlightened masses the world over. But she also has to deal with a philandering husband, Jack Wells, whose pharmaceutical company is a market wonder built on a house of cards, and her sister Allison, a free-spirited anti-globalization activist. Jorge Volpi's Season of Ash puts a human face on earth-shaking events of the late twentieth century: the Chernobyl disaster, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the collapse of Soviet communism and the rise of the Russian oligarchs, the cascading collapsing of developing economies, and the near-miraculous scientific advances of the Human Genome Project. A scientific investigation, a journalistic expose, a detective novel, and a dark love story, Season of Ash is a thrilling exploration of greed and disillusionment, and a clear-eyed examination of the passions that rule our lives and make history. Jorge Volpi is the author of nine novels, including In Search of Klingsor , for which he won the Spanish Premio Biblioteca Breve prize and the French Deux-Oceans-Grizane-Cavour Prize. Volpi is one of the founders of the "Crack" group--a prestigious Mexican literary movement. Alfred MacAdam is a professor of Latin American literature at Barnard College and the translator of novels by Carlos Fuentes, Mario Vargas Llosa, Jose Donoso, Juan Carlos Onetii, and Julio Cortazar, among others., The Soviet biologist Irina Granina has experienced the worst of Communism, struggling to free her husband from the gulag for years.

- f***t (379)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoThis seller's price for the book I wanted was a little bit higher than other sellers, but the listing said it would be here in 2 to 4 days, unlike other sellers. I was leaving on a cruise in 3 days so I was really hoping to take this book with me. I am very grateful to say it arrived on Friday for my Saturday morning departure. I ordered another book right before I ordered this one and it says it will arrive on Wednesday. Very worth the small amount more to have it in time!
