Upstate Book Reviews
Upstate by James Wood Book Summary
Desde que su hija Vanessa se mudó a Estados Unidos para ser profesora de filosofía, Alan Querry, de sesenta y ocho años y que vive en Inglaterra nunca ha ido a visitarla. Helen, su otra hija, ejecutiva del mundo de la música, tampoco ha ido. Son dos hermanas que se quieren pero que nunca se han recuperado del divorcio de sus padres ni de la temprana muerte de su madre. Cuando Josh, el nuevo novio de Vanessa, les cuenta que su hermana tiene una depresión severa, Alan y Helen vuelan a Nueva York.
Upstate es una historia intensa y profunda sobre la felicidad y la familia escrita por uno de los críticos literarios vivos más importantes del mundo. James Wood dibuja con enorme sensibilidad las relaciones entre Alan, Helen y Vanessa, documentando los minúsculos cambios emocionales entre los tres adultos. «Aunque los hijos solo hayan sido niños brevemente -reflexiona Alan- uno nunca se acostumbra a verlos independientes». Durante seis días de invierno en el estado de Nueva York, todos ellos empezarán a enfrentarse con las preguntas sobre la felicidad y sus límites que es el tema de esta novela. Upstate es una meditación sobre la felicidad, pero no ofrece soluciones fáciles ni claras. Wood se resiste a cualquier tentación de atar cabos sueltos y se mantiene obstinadamente fiel al desorden de la vida.
«Upstate es decididamente una novela de personajes, y la inteligencia que la anima es reconocible de Wood ... Si alguna vez James Wood, el novelista sobrepasa a Wood como crítico, Upstate sería un nuevo comienzo prometedor ...» Christian Lorentzen, Vulture
«Leer a James Wood proporciona un enorme placer» Gideon Lewis-Kraus, Los Angeles Times
