Ben Brooks tiene veinticinco años y vive en Londres. Con apenas diecisiete años escribió Crezco, la obra que lo convirtió en autor estrella de la narrativa anglosajona. Poco después llegó Lolito, que terminó por consolidarlo como una de las voces más importantes también en nuestro país. Con Hurra, inédita en su lengua de origen, alcanza la madurez literaria y nos habla con descarnada crudeza de las grandes cuestiones universales: el amor, la muerte y el abandono de los lugares seguros en el asalto a lo desconocido. Brooks es hoy el referente de toda una generación de lectores y el relevo de la literatura más controvertida y provocadora del siglo XX.
