Publisher's Synopsis

Jody is the mother of five-year-old Will and a promising artist who currently works as a wedding photographer in Virginia. Her boyfriend Mel wants to marry her and tries to convince her to move to New York, where he works in an art gallery. Will goes for a visit with his father in Florida, but his father treats each of these visits as an invasion of privacy. The lives of the characters in this novel showcase the complexity of the postmodern family, the product of an era in which human relationships are more and more fragmented and take less stable and defined forms. This novel is an unsettling tale about emotional survival, but it is also a reflection on universal themes such as the fear of commitment, sex, and childhood fears.

Jody es madre de un niño de cinco años, Will, y una prometedora artista que, de momento, trabaja como fotógrafa de bodas en Virginia. Su novio, Mel, quiere casarse con ella y trata de convencerla para que se mude a Nueva York, donde él trabaja en una galerìa de arte. Will va a visitar a su padre a Florida, pero este vive cada una de las visitas de su hijo como una intromisión en su intimidad. Las vidas de los personajes que pueblan esta novela muestran la complejidad de la familia postmoderna, fruto de un tiempo en el que las relaciones humanas son cada vez más fragmentarias y adoptan formas menos estables y definidas. Esta novela es un inquietante relato sobre la supervivencia emocional, pero también una acertada reflexión sobre temas tan universales como la aversión al compromiso, el sexo o los miedos infantiles.
