DAVID GILBERT

En clave de sátira, Gilbert traza una semblanza irónica, lúcida y en ocasiones hilarante de las contradicciones en las que viviemos instalados los hombres y mujeres del siglo XXI. Su personaje central, Billy Schine, brillante alumno de Harvard, naufrafa en Nueva York. Acuciado por las deudas decide participar en un experimento medico para probar en individuos 'normales' un medicamento que cura la esquizofrenia. Y lo que habra de sucederle a Billy en aquel centro, sin duda dejara muy sorprendido al lector.

Who is A. N. Dyer? For fans of The Art of Fielding and Wonder Boys this is the panoramic, deeply affecting story of an iconic novelist and the heartbreaking truths that fiction can hide.A.N. Dyer is Americas most mysterious literary recluse, his cult book Ampersand treasured by angst-ridden adolescents everywhere. But seventeen years ago, the unexpected arrival of a new baby Dyer wrecked the writers relationship with his wife and their own teenage sons.David Gilberts astonishing novel is an ingenious, death-defying leap into the life of a giant of literature and a father with one final revelation for his boys or is it actually just one last fiction?

The funeral of Charles Henry Topping on Manhattans Upper East Side would have been a minor affair (his two-hundred-word obit in The New York Times notwithstanding) but for the presence of one particular mourner: the notoriously reclusive author A. N. Dyer, whose novel Ampersand stands as a classic of American teenage angst. But as Andrew Newbold Dyer delivers the eulogy for his oldest friend, he suffers a breakdown over the life hes led and the people hes hurt and the novel that will forever endure as his legacy. He must gather his three sons for the first time in many yearsbefore its too late.So begins a wild, transformative, heartbreaking week, as witnessed by Philip Topping, who, like his late father, finds himself caught up in the swirl of the Dyer family. First theres son Richard, a struggling screenwriter and father, returning from self-imposed exile in California. In the middle lingers Jamie, settled in Brooklyn after his twenty-year mission of making documentaries about human suffering. And last is Andy, the half brother whose mysterious birth tore the Dyers apart seventeen years ago, now in New York on spring break, determined to lose his virginity before returning to the prestigious New England boarding school that inspired Ampersand. But only when the real purpose of this reunion comes to light do these sons realize just how much is at stake, not only for their father but for themselves and three generations of their family.
