The Only Story
Would you rather love the more, and suffer the more; or love the less, and suffer the less? That is, I think, finally, the only real question. First love has lifelong consequences, but Paul doesn’t know anything about that at nineteen. At nineteen, he’s proud of the fact his relationship flies in the face of social convention. As he grows older, the demands placed on Paul by love become far greater than he could possibly have foreseen. Tender and wise, The Only Story is a deeply moving novel by one of fiction’s greatest mappers of the human heart.
Un amor
La historia de Un amor ocurre en La Escapa, un pequeño núcleo rural donde Nat, una joven e inexperta traductora, acaba de mudarse. Su casero, que le regala un perro como gesto de bienvenida, no tardará en mostrar su verdadera cara, y los conflictos en torno a la casa alquilada –una construcción pobre, llena de grietas y goteras– se convertirán en una verdadera obsesión para ella. El resto de los habitantes de la zona –la chica de la tienda, Píter el hippie, la vieja y demente Roberta, Andreas el alemán, la familia de ciudad que pasa allí los fines de semana– acogerán a Nat con aparente normalidad, mientras de fondo laten la incomprensión y la extrañeza mutuas.
