Cristina García llegeix A Handbook to Luck.

"Cristina García's first novel, Dreaming in Cuban, was nominated for a National Book Award and her book Monkey Hunting was called “A miracle of poetic compression. . . An epic of anecdotes, a vista of brief and beautiful glimpses” by the Los Angeles Times Book Review. Ms. García will read from and sign her novel A Handbook to Luck ($13.95 Vintage). With its cast of vividly drawn characters, its graceful movement through time and the psychological shifts between childhood and adulthood, and its subtle revelation of the essential hopes and doubts of ordinary people whose lives are made extraordinary by circumstance both tragic and joyful, A Handbook to Luck is Cristina García's most beautiful, elegiac, and deeply emotional novel yet."

Cristina Garcia llegeix A Handbook to Luck.

"Cristina Garcia talks about A Handbook to Luck. In the late 60s, three teenagers from around the globe are making their way in the world: Enrique Florit, from Cuba, living in southern California with his flamboyant magician father; Marta Claros, getting by in the slums of San Salvador; Leila Rezvani, a well-to-do surgeon’s daughter in Tehran. We follow them through the years, surviving war, disillusionment, and love, as their lives and paths intersect." (christiguc)… (més)
