About this audiobook
HOUSEHOLD GIZMOS WITH A MIND OF THEIR OWN.
THE WRONG KIND OF COLD CALLS.
AND THE CREEPING SUSPICION THAT NONE OF THIS IS REAL.
Reality, and Other Stories is a gathering of deliciously chilling entertainments – stories to be listened to as the evenings draw in, and the days are haunted by uncanny technologies and the absurd horrors of modern life.
“Masterly…remarkable.” GUARDIAN on The Wall
John Lanchester
John Lanchester (Hamburgo, 1962) creció en Calcuta, Rangún, Brunéi y Hong Kong y se educó en Oxford. Ha ejercido de reseñista de libros, periodista futbolístico, escritor de necrológicas y crítico de restaurantes para The Observer de Londres. Anagrama ha publicado sus cinco novelas: En deuda con el placer (Premio Betty Trask): «Una novela extraordinariamente inteligente, una de las mejores que se han publicado en los últimos años» (Enrique Vila-Matas, El País); El señor Phillips: «Vitriólica e irónica historia» (Qué Leer); El puerto de los aromas (Premi Llibreter 2005): «Una historia íntima y social magnífica» (J. Ernesto Ayala-Dip, El Correo); «Una novela memorable» (Miquel Berga, La Vanguardia); Novela familiar: «Si existe un género de la autobiografía familiar (yo creo que existe), este libro es una de sus cumbres (Ignacio Martínez de Pisón), y Capital: «Formidable» (Robert Saladrigas, La Vanguardia); «La respuesta británica a La hoguera de las vanidades de Tom Wolfe. Parecida mala leche, mismo sentido del humor, misma intención sociológica en el retrato de una ciudad» (Elena Hevia, El Periódico); así como los ensayos ¡Huy! Por qué todo el mundo debe a todo el mundo y nadie puede pagar: «Un libro impactante» (Joaquín Estefanía, El País), y Cómo hablar de dinero: «Un gozoso desarme de los términos que usan los analistas envarados de las finanzas. Su descripción de expresiones usuales en los diarios y que solo esconden trucos para mantener la desigualdad es de tener siempre a mano» (Josep Maria Ureta, El Periódico).
