Nominado para el National Book Award de ficción en el 2017 Las historias de unos personajes que intentan luchar contra el poder en cualquiera de sus formas y que confirman a Daniel Alarcón como uno de los más destacados narradores contemporáneos. El rey siempre está por encima del pueblo recoge las historias de una serie de personajes cuyas vidas carecen de heroísmo. Y sin embargo, en todas ellas vibran, soterradas, la violencia y la voluntad de rebelión ante una figura paterna o paternalista, hacia el poder en cualquiera de sus formas. Un niño es obligado por su padre a ejercer de lazarillo de un mendigo ciego y codicioso, hombres y mujeres construyen en una noche histórica su lugar en el mundo, un vibrador decide el destino amoroso de una pareja, un homosexual recuerda sus amores con el presidente Lincoln...Reseñas:«El talento y la sabiduría de Alarcón están por encima de su tiempo.».-The New York Times Book Review«Leer a Alarcón es como presenciar la llegada de un nuevo John Steinbeck o un Gabriel García Márquez.».-Star-TribuneENGLISH DESCRIPTIONLONGLISTED for the 2017 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR FICTIONAn urgent, essential collection of stories about immigration, broken dreams, Los Angeles gang members, Latin American families, and other tales of high stakes journeys, from the award-winning author of War by Candlelight and At Night We Walk in Circles. Migration. Betrayal. Family secrets. Doomed love. Uncertain futures. In Daniel Alarcón’s hands, these are transformed into deeply human stories with high stakes. In "The Thousands," people are on the move and forging new paths; hope and heartbreak abound. A man deals with the fallout of his blind relatives' mysterious deaths and his father's mental breakdown and incarceration in "The Bridge." A gang member discovers a way to forgiveness and redemption through the haze of violence and trauma in "The Ballad of Rocky Rontal." And in the tour de force novella, "The Auroras", a man severs himself from his old life and seeks to make a new one in a new city, only to find himself seduced and controlled by a powerful woman. Richly drawn, full of unforgettable characters, The King is Always Above the People reveals experiences both unsettling and unknown, and yet eerily familiar in this new world. | El Rey Siempre Está Por Encima Del Pueblo / The Is Always Above The People: Stories by Daniel Alarcon, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
