Una Forma De Vida (Panorama De Narrativas) (Spanish Edition) Spanish edition

Todo empieza cuando una novelista llamada Amelie Nothomb recibe una carta de uno de sus lectores, un soldado norteamericano, Melvin Mapple, que le escribe desde Irak. Mapple contrae una enfermedad, comun entre los soldados. Y es la existencia de este padecimiento lo que deja al lector en estado de shock, lo hechiza y lo sume en un relato alucinante en el que, como en otras novelas de Nothomb, el protagonista absoluto es el cuerpo. Un cuerpo distinto, repudiado, que, para sobrevivir, alumbrara una nueva identidad, Scherezade, con la que el yo desdoblado de Mapple iniciara una suerte de idilio. Una vez mas la prosa afilada y transgresora de la escritora belga mantiene al lector en vilo hasta el final. / It all begins when a novelist named Amélie Nothomb receives a letter from one of her readers, a soldier from the United States, Melvin Mapple, who writes to her from Iraq. Mapple suffers from a disease that is common among soldiers, a suffering that leaves the reader in a state of shock, captivating them and throwing them into a mind blowing story in which the absolute protagonist is the body. Once again the sharp prose of this writer breaks the rules, keeping the reader on the edge of their seat right up until the end.
