Conversaciones entre amigos / Conversations with Friends

Sally Rooney

AHORA UNA SERIE ORIGINAL EN HULU.

El gran debut de Sally Rooney se produjo con una de las novelas de ficcion mas esperadas. Una historia fresca sobre el amor y contra las etiquetas en las relaciones.

Tras recitar sus poemas en una velada literaria en Dublin, Frances y Bobbi conocen a Melissa, una atractiva escritora que quiere publicar un reportaje sobre ellas. Estas dos universitarias que en el pasado fueron pareja se veran atraidas hacia ella y su marido Nick: un matrimonio acomodado que se acerca a la cuarentena y con el que terminaran formando un complejo menage a quatre. Ambientada en la bohemia artistica irlandesa, esta historia de amores libres y relaciones ambiguas ofrece un retrato honesto de una generacion que rechaza las etiquetas impuestas. Entre presentaciones de libros, estrenos teatrales y vacaciones en la Bretana francesa, las conversaciones de los personajes convierten el debut de Sally Rooney en una novela de ideas marcada por unos dialogos ocurrentes y un habil sentido del humor. La autora indaga en las delicadas crueldades de la interaccion humana en una obra inteligente sobre la amistad, el deseo y los celos. Mientras sus personajes descubren el poder que tienen sobre los otros, Rooney articula una adictiva historia sobre el funcionamiento de la inocencia, el impacto de la infidelidad y el espejismo del libre albedrio. Conversaciones entre amigos ha situado a Rooney como una de las voces mas prometedoras de su generacion. Una obra aguda y reveladora que es a la vez una novela de iniciacion, una comedia sobre el amor y un alegato feminista.

Frances is a coolheaded and darkly observant young woman, vaguely pursuing a career in writing while studying in Dublin. Her best friend is the beautiful and endlessly self-possessed Bobbi. At a local poetry performance one night, they meet a well-known photographer, and as the girls are then gradually drawn into her world, Frances is reluctantly impressed by the older woman’s sophisticated home and handsome husband, Nick. But however amusing Frances and Nick’s flirtation seems at first, it begins to give way to a strange-and then painful-intimacy.

Written with gemlike precision and marked by a sly sense of humor, Conversations with Friends is wonderfully alive to the pleasures and dangers of youth, and the messy edges of female friendship.

A writer of rare confidence, with a lucid, exacting style… One wonderful aspect of Rooney’s consistently wonderful novel is the fierce clarity with which she examines the self-delusion that so often festers alongside presumed self-knowledge… But Rooney’s natural power is as a psychological portraitist. She is acute and sophisticated about the workings of innocence; the protagonist of this novel about growing up has no idea just how much of it she has left to do. -Alexandra Schwartz, The New Yorker
