In moments that are sometimes entirely funny and sometimes terribly sad, Julienne supports herself first as executive assistant to an exacting German banker then as a cleaner, makes sculpture, and gains not only an ever-evolving understanding of Gaspar in the aftermath of his death, a kind of self-actualization. The reverberations of grief force Julienne to confront her painful past, including the mystery of her own birth and the fantastical story ascribed to it by her flight attendant mother. Slowly, and with the cascade of time set to music, Julienne can envision, for the first time, a real future.</p><p>Thieving Sun is a small masterpiece; a profound and contemporary meditation on art, grief, debt, suicide loss, and the danger of being alive.</p>...4530609Thieving Sun266266https://www.gandhi.com.mx/thieving-son-9798892731997/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4113360/image.jpg?v=638443274147400000InStockMXN99999DIAudiolibro20249798892731997_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9798892731997_<p>In this searing debut novel, for readers of Katie Kitamura and Rachel Cusk, an obsessive first love affair and<br />its tragic aftermath decades later brings one womans life in New York and pursuit of art into searing focus.<br />Julienne falls in love with Gaspar in college and spends her twenties with him, but their love affair ends tragically.<br />Told in short passages that span decades, this patently international story follows Julienne to New York, London,<br />China, Germany, and elsewhere.<br />Juliennes tragic affair with Gaspar becomes a window into her own relationship to the cosmopolitan identity<br />shes developed over time as an escape from her painful, unglamorous upbringing in South Jersey. Julienne<br />also investigates the mystery of her own birth in the novel, by trying to discover if the fantastic story of a brief<br />affair her mother had while working as a stewardess on an international flight could possibly be true.<br />Ultimately, Thieving Sun is a profound and contemporary meditation on art, social mobility, debt, and the danger<br />of using others to define our selves.</p>...9798892731997_Recorded Books, Inc.audiolibro_9798892731997_9798892731997Monica DattaInglésMéxico2024-03-26T00:00:00+00:00NoMINUTE2024-03-26T00:00:00+00:00Recorded Books, Inc.
