Reseña del libro "Delayed Rays of a Star (en Inglés)"

An NPR Best Book of the YearA CrimeReads Historical Fiction Best Book of the YearAt a chance encounter at a Berlin soirée in 1928, the photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt captures three very different women together in one frame: up-and-coming German actress Marlene Dietrich; Anna May Wong, the world&;s first Chinese American star; and Leni Riefenstahl, whose work as a director of propaganda art films would first make her famous&;then, infamous. The trajectories of these women&;s lives wind from Weimar Berlin to LA&;s Chinatown, from the Bavarian Alps to the Champs-Élysées, and the different settings they inhabit are as richly textured as the roles they play: siren, victim, predator, or lover, each one a carefully calibrated performance. In the orbit of each star live secondary players whose voices and viewpoints reveal the legacy each woman left behind. Intimate and clear-eyed, this is a visceral depiction of womanhood&;its particular hungers, its oblique calculations, and its eventual betrayals.
