La nueva y mejor novela del autor de Llámame por tu nombre.
«Aciman escribe con la ferocidad del escritor que finalmente ha dado con su manera de ver y tiene que sacarla a la luz. Ha creado algo magnífico y vivo». —The New York Times
Como un mismo tema musical (el del erotismo, los recuerdos y el cuerpo) tocado en sus diversas variaciones, así son los vínculos de Paul con las diferentes personas que han ido dando forma a lo que él entiende por amor. Hombres y mujeres con los que se ha encontrado desde su adolescencia en Italia hasta su madurez en Estados Unidos.
Todas estas conexiones, que trazan una constelación cargada de deseo a lo largo de la vida de su protagonista, señalan también los momentos culminantes de Variaciones Enigma, la nueva y magistral novela de André Aciman. Un relato sensual y repleto de destellos sobre la posibilidad de descubrirnos a través de los demás, de nuestros momentos compartidos y de la intimidad construida de manera conjunta.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
From André Aciman, the author of Call Me by Your Name (now a major motion picture and the winner of the Oscar™ for Best Adapted Screenplay) comes “a sensory masterclass, absorbing, intelligent, unforgettable” (Times Literary Supplement).
Enigma Variations charts the life of a man named Paul, whose loves remain as consuming and as covetous throughout his adulthood as they were in his adolescence. Whether the setting is southern Italy, where as a boy he has a crush on his parents’ cabinetmaker, or a snowbound campus in New England, where his enduring passion for a girl he’ll meet again and again over the years is punctuated by anonymous encounters with men―whether he’s on a tennis court in Central Park or on a New York sidewalk in early spring. Paul’s attachments are ungraspable, transient, and forever underwritten by raw desire.
Ahead of every step Paul takes, his hopes, denials, fears, and regrets are always ready to lay their traps. Yet the dream of love lingers. We may not always know what we want. We may remain enigmas to ourselves and to others. But sooner or later, we discover who we’ve always known we were.
