Niños en el tiempo

Ficción especulativa por Ian McEwan

Resumen

The Child in Time opens with a harrowing event. Stephen Lewis, a successful author of children's books, takes his 3-year-old daughter on a routine Saturday morning trip to the supermarket. While waiting in line, his attention is distracted and his daughter is kidnapped. Just like that. From there, Lewis spirals into bereavement that has effects on his relationship with his wife, his psyche and time itself: "It was a wonder there could be so much movement, so much purpose, all the time. He himself had none." This beautifully haunting book won a 1987 Whitbread Prize.

Habe das Buch aufgrund einer Empfehlung gelesen und bin schwer enttäuscht worden. Langatmig, grausam entworfene Frauengestalten, nicht Thriller, nicht Scifi, kein Tragikroman. Ein dahinplätschern von drei Erzählsträngen.... Mann, der über Männer schreibt und es schafft, zentrale weibliche Charaktere auszublenden oder unfähig erscheinen zu lassen, obwohl der Mann der Totalversager ist.
