Omar Razaghi posts a letter on September 13, 1995 that will change his life forever. A doctoral student in Kansas, he writes to the estate of the Latin American author Jules Gund, requesting permission to write Gund's authorized biography. His request is refused, but Omar has already accepted a fellowship from the University and with his girlfriend's encouragement, he goes in person to Uruguay to petition to Gund's three executors. Although Jules' wife, mistress and mother of his child are initially opposed to the idea of a biography, Omar has the support of Jules' older brother, and hopes to be able to persuade the two women. Omar's unexpected arrival in Uruguay reverberates through this odd and isolated little family group, and his stay in the dreamy Ochos Rios makes him question his former life in Kansas, and his ability to write an "authorized" life.

Rustica (tapa blanda). Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: Nuevo. 01. Septiembre de 1995, Omar Razaghi, un doctorando de la Universidad de Kansas, envía una carta que cambiará su vida. La carta va dirigida a los albaceas del famoso escritor Jules Gund y en ella Omar les pide permiso para escribir su biografía. Los tres albaceas: su viuda, Caroline, su hermano, Adam, y su amante y madre de su hija, Arden, se niegan a dar su autorización; sin embargo, Omar, espoleado por su novia, decide viajar a Uruguay, donde estos viven, para intentar convencerlos. . El consenso al que los albaceas habían llegado respecto a la biografía se ve amenazado con la llegada de Omar; su presencia pondrá también en cuestión algo más profundo: el precario equilibrio en el que la peculiar familia del autor vive tras su muerte. . Aquella tarde dorada es un libro que nos habla de la naturaleza azarosa del amor y de cómo encaramos las decisiones importantes de nuestras vidas. Una comedia romántica inteligente y distinta que está considerada como una de las mejores novelas de Peter Cameron. LIBRO. Seller Inventory # 741765
