El Pajaro Espectador (Spanish, Paperback)


Filled with intelligence and wit, this account follows Joe Allston, a retired literary agent, as he reflects on the transcendental aspects of his life with his wife Ruth. The arrival of a postcard from an old friend reminds him of the journals he kept during a long-ago trip to his mother's Danish hometown. The memories of that trip--both grotesque and poignant--awaken feelings and lead him to confront long neglected questions while revealing that he has not quite passed through life as a mere spectator. "Llena de inteligencia e ingenio, este relato sigue a Joe Allston, un agente literario retirado, mientras reflexiona sobre los aspectos trascendentales de su vida con su esposa, Ruth. La llegada de una postal de un viejo amigo le recuerda del diario que escribio durante un viaje hace anos a la ciudad natal de su madre danesa. Los recuerdos de ese viaje--tanto grotescos como conmovedores--despiertan sentimientos y lo llevan a enfrentarse a preguntas que se han cuidado sin contestar por mucho tiempo mientras revelan que el no ha pasado por la vida como un simple espectador."
