About this audiobook
A mysterious tall man haunts a country house in search of a cell signal; a translator at an academic conference starts hearing things over his headset that nobody should hear; a family discovers their dependence on the latest technological gadget goes to the very foundations of human relations; and the merry contestants in a reality TV show may actually be . . . somewhere very hellish indeed. Reality and Other Stories is a book of disquiet that captures the severe disconnection and distraction of our time.

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).
