N. K. Jemisin

En la lista de los 100 libros imprescindibles del 2020 de la revista Time.

N. K. Jemisin, la tres veces ganadora del Premio Hugo a la mejor novela y superventas del New York Times, nos trae La ciudad que nos unio, una historia revolucionaria de cultura, magia y mitos en la Nueva York actual.

En Manhattan, un joven estudiante de posgrado sale del tren y se da cuenta de que no recuerda quien es, de donde viene ni su nombre. Pero si que es capaz de sentir el latir del corazon de la ciudad, ver su historia y percibir su poder.

En el Bronx, la directora lenape de una galeria de arte encuentra unos extranos grafitis que adornan toda la ciudad, tan maravillosos y poderosos que se podria decir que la pintura la llama, literalmente.

En Brooklyn, una madre y politica descubre que oye las canciones de la ciudad, que resuenan al ritmo de los tacones de sus Louboutin. Y no son los unicos.

Toda gran ciudad tiene un alma. Algunas son tan antiguas como los mitos, y otras, tan nuevas y destructivas como los ninos. Nueva York tiene seis…

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

On the Time magazine 100 must-read books of 2020.

A glorious fantasy. –Neil Gaiman

Three-time Hugo Award-winning and New York Times bestselling author N.K. Jemisin crafts her most incredible novel yet, a story of culture, identity, magic, and myths in contemporary New York City.

In Manhattan, a young grad student gets off the train and realizes he doesn’t remember who he is, where he’s from, or even his own name. But he can sense the beating heart of the city, see its history, and feel its power.

In the Bronx, a Lenape gallery director discovers strange graffiti scattered throughout the city, so beautiful and powerful it’s as if the paint is literally calling to her.

In Brooklyn, a politician and mother finds she can hear the songs of her city, pulsing to the beat of her Louboutin heels.

And they’re not the only ones.

Every great city has a soul. Some are ancient as myths, and others are as new and destructive as children. New York? She’s got six.
