Michael Cunningham's luminous, compassionate new novel begins with a vision. Walking through Central Park, Barrett Meeks sees a translucent light in the sky that regards him in a distinctly godlike way. Barrett doesn't believe in visions - or in God - but he can't deny what he's seen. In nearby Brooklyn, Tyler, Barrett's older brother, is trying - and failing - to write a wedding song for Beth, his wife-to-be, who is seriously ill. Barrett turns unexpectedly to religion, while Tyler grows convinced that only drugs can release his creative powers. The Snow Queen, beautiful and heartbreaking, comic and tragic, proves again that Cunningham is one of the great novelists of his generation.

Etat : Muy bueno. : En 'La Reina de las Nieves', Michael Cunningham nos presenta una novela luminosa y conmovedora que comienza con una visión. En noviembre de 2004, Barrett Meeks, tras una nueva desilusión amorosa, pasea por Central Park cuando se siente inspirado a mirar al cielo, donde observa una luz pálida y translúcida que parece observarlo de una manera casi divina. A pesar de no creer en visiones ni en Dios, Barrett no puede negar lo que ha visto. Paralelamente, en Brooklyn, Tyler, el hermano mayor de Barrett, un músico en apuros, intenta escribir una canción para Beth, su prometida, quien padece una grave enfermedad. Tyler está decidido a crear una canción de bodas que sea una expresión perdurable de amor. Barrett, obsesionado por la luz, se acerca inesperadamente a la religión, mientras que Tyler se convence de que solo las drogas pueden liberar su creatividad. Beth, por su parte, intenta afrontar la mortalidad con valentía. Cunningham sigue a los hermanos Meeks en su búsqueda de trascendencia, demostrando una profunda empatía por sus personajes y una singular comprensión del alma humana.
