La segunda novela del autor bestseller internacional Graeme Simsion que narra las nuevas aventuras de Don Tillman y Rosie, protagonistas de El proyecto esposa.En su hilarante bestseller El Proyecto Esposa -que ya suma mas de un millon de ejemplares vendidos en todo el mundo- Graeme Simsion dio vida a un personaje dificil de olvidar: Don Tillman, un profesor de Genetica australiano tan inteligente como inepto para el trato social. Su disparatado proyecto de encontrar pareja aplicando un metodo cientifico concluia milagrosamente en boda con la vivaracha y algo caotica Rosie Jarman, estudiante de Psiquiatria y la mujer que menos se ajustaba a su modelo de candidata ideal.Ahora, diez meses y diez dias despues de casarse, encontramos a Don y Rosie en Nueva York, desafiando, una vez mas, todas las incompatibilidades imaginables. El enseña y ella estudia en la Universidad de Columbia, y, por las noches, uno prepara y otra sirve cocteles en el mismo restaurante. Todo parece ir viento en popa hasta que Rosie le comunica que... esta embarazada. Para alguien como Don, cuyo equilibrio vital se basa en la planificacion, el bebe ya es un reto mayusculo, pero, por desgracia, las sorpresas se multiplican: Gene, su mejor amigo y un mujeriego incorregible, se ha separado y se muda a vivir con ellos; el apartamento, propiedad de un guitarrista de rock que ensaya en el piso superior, apesta a cerveza; y, por si fuera poco, hay que añadir unos amigos con graves problemas financieros, aparatos de refrigeracion que son una pesadilla y una demanda judicial que podria suponer la deportacion. En suma, cabe afirmar con propiedad que el mundo perfecto de Don ha estallado en mil pedazos.¿Sera capaz, con su mente cientifica, de acabar con el caos que amenaza con destruir su felicidad?La critica ha dicho... Don Tillman es uno de los personajes literarios mas fascinantes y entrañables con el que nos hemos topado en años.The TimesEsta novela encantadora, de ritmo trepidante y muy entretenida, demuestra que en todas las variantes humanas existe potencial para la comedia mas optimista y apasionada.The Guardian

Hilarante, sorprendente, ingeniosa. "Uno de los más atractivos, simpáticos y fascinantes personajes literarios que he encontrado en mucho tiempo."The Times "Me llamo Don Tillman, tengo treinta y nueve años y soy profesor adjunto de Genetica en la Universidad de Melbourne. Mi trabajo esta bien remunerado, me alimento de forma equilibrada y regular, y mi condicion fisica es optima. En el reino animal, no tendria ninguna dificultad para aparearme, pero en el humano, nunca he logrado tener una segunda cita con la misma mujer. Los motivos de mi fracaso no termino de entenderlos, y como las estadisticas muestran que los hombres casados son, en promedio, mas felices y viven mas tiempo, he decidido poner en marcha un programa vital para mi, el Proyecto Esposa. A tal fin, he creado un algoritmo perfecto que me permitira excluir las candidatas inadecuadas: las fumadoras, las impuntuales, las desorganizadas, las que dedican demasiado tiempo a su aspecto exterior... en suma, todas aquellas que no respondan a los estrictos criterios que se exponen en el cuestionario de dieciseis paginas que he elaborado. Este libro es el informe cientifico -aunque me han explicado que hay que denominarlo novela- acerca del resultado de mi proyecto.

Don Tillman is a socially challenged genetics professor who's decided the time has come to find a wife. His questionnaire is intended to weed out anyone who's unsuitable. The trouble is, Don has rather high standards and doesn't really do flexible so, despite lots of takers, he's not having much success in identifying The One. When Rosie Jarman comes to his office, Don assumes it's to apply for the Wife Project - and duly discounts her on the grounds she smokes, drinks, doesn't eat meat, and is incapable of punctuality. However, Rosie has no interest in becoming Mrs Tillman and is actually there to enlist Don's assistance in a professional capacity: to help her find her biological father. Sometimes, though, you don't find love: love finds you...

On the cusp of fifty and a happy introvert, Adam is content. He''s the music expert at his local pub-quiz and he and his partner Claire rumble along. Life may not be rock n'' roll, but neither is it easy listening. Yet something has always felt off-key.And that''s his nostalgia for what might have been, his blazing affair - more than twenty years ago, on the other side of the world - with Angelina Brown, a smart and sexy, strong-willed actress who taught him for the first time, as he played piano and she sang, what it meant to find - and then lose - love. How different might his life be if he hadn''t let her walk away?Then, out of nowhere, Angelina gets in touch. Adam has sung about second chances, but does he have the courage to believe in them?

This book is about another approach, based on established theories of creativity and design - and on the experience of authors who have adopted a more structured and reliable process. It could have been called What They Don t Teach You in Writing School because, rather than focusing on prose, it covers the entire writing process, from premise to proofreading, as a step-by-step project. Instead of waiting for the blood, you'll approach each day with clarity and purpose, progressing steadily toward the best book you re capable of. Easy to follow, practical and highly entertaining, The Novel Project is a masterclass from an author who started his writing career at fifty and whose novels have sold millions of copies around the world.
