Lo que te pertenece
by Garth GreenwellCon un inusual virtuosismo estilístico y una cautivadora potencia emocional, esta novela sobre el deseo y sus consecuencias está destinada a convertirse en un clásico. El espléndido debut de Greenwell ha sido merecedor del British Book Prize, nominado al National Book Award y seleccionado como uno de los mejores libros del año por los principales medios de comunicación estadounidenses. En los baños públicos del Palacio Nacional de Cultura de Sofía, un profesor de literatura estadounidense conoce a Mitko, un joven magnético a quien paga por sexo. Movido por un deseo incontenible, regresa a Mitko una y otra vez tratando de descifrar la historia personal del joven, marcada por los excesos y la incomprensión de un mundo que apenas le presta atención, pero solo consigue verse atrapado en una relación donde la ternura y el anhelo dan paso a la humillación y al miedo. Mientras lucha por reconciliarse con sus propios sentimientos, una noticia inesperada le fuerza a evocar su traumática adolescencia y la tensa relación con su padre, en una América profunda que tiene similitudes desconcertantes con esta Bulgaria gris y decadente donde ha decidido instalarse. Lo que te pertenece es una historia indeleble que se mueve por los sombríos rincones de una sociedad marcada por el comunismo y que ahonda en las cicatrices y las culpabilidades del pasado, esas marcas que pueden decidir quiénes somos y cómo amamos. Críticas:«Una compasiva reflexión sobre lo escurridizo del deseo y la imposibilidad de la salvación, sobre las fuerzas de la humillación y la culpa y la urgencia que a menudo acompañan al amor, todo formulado con un lenguaje tan bello y vívido como el de la poesía.»Hanya Yanagihara, autora de Tan poca vida «Greenwell es comparable a James Baldwin, Alan Hollinghurst, Virginia Woolf y W.G. Sebald. Una y otra vez se llamará a Lo que te pertenece la gran novela gay de nuestra época.»Hannah Lühmann, Welt am Sonntag «La novela de Greenwell impresiona por muchas razones [...]. Pero adquiere un poder diferente por su desasosegada atmósfera de inestabilidad psíquica, de confesión y penitencia, del reconocimiento de fuerzas complejas y apenas dominadas que quedan más allá del control consciente incluso de un novelista tan talentoso como este.»James Wood, The New Yorker «Destinada a convertirse en un clásico [...].Lo que te pertenece se sitúa de forma natural al lado de grandes obras sobre peligrosas obsesiones sexuales como Muerte en Venecia de Thomas Mann y Lolita de Nabokov.»Jonathan McAloon, The Telegraph «En la brillante primera novela de Garth Greenwell, el viejo modo de contar se convierte en algo nuevo y se transforma en puñetazo [...] En su voz hay maestría y fluidez. Parece poseer una habilidad innata para hechizar al lector.»Dwight Garner, The New York Times «Escrita con una reflexiva y espléndida prosa, es a la vez un logro formal e íntimo, elevado pero personal, perspicaz pero muy real. Es la mejor novela que he leído en años.»Andrew Solomon, The Guardian Best Books of 2016 «La valentía emocional se funde con una extraordinaria sensibilidad hasta alcanzar el temblor del arrepentimiento [...]. Al final, una novela como esta no puede albergar otro propósito que su perfecta articulación de la desesperación, algo que cualquiera con corazón podrá entender.»Ron Charles, Washington Post «Bello y conmovedor.»Luis Alemany, El Mundo
