Description
"Un centro comercial donde los compradores luchan a muerte para conseguir sus artículos favoritos en las rebajas; un parque temático en el que hombres racistas juegan a tomarse la justicia por su mano; un mundo postapocalíptico donde cada día hay que revivir una catástrofe nuclear en un bucke eterno. Los doce impactantes relatos de este libro son un retrato distópico, demoledor y siempre sorprendente de la Norteamérica actual así como una denuncia sin filtros, satírica y cruda, de la hipocresía y la falta de valores de nuestras sociedades, del absurdo consumismo o de la violencia contra el débil y el diferente. En el corazón de todas estas historias sus protagonistas intentan mantener la sensatez y la humanidad mientras todo se desmorona. Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah ha revolucionado el panorama literario actual con este extraordinario debut que de ganar adeptos. Con una imaginación y un talento desbordantes y una mirada renovadora, Adjei-Brenyah sacude al lector y le coloca frente a sus propias contradicciones." --,Back cover.
