Reseña del libro "Upward Bound"

Woody Brown’s vibrant and profoundly moving debut novel takes us to sun-bleached California, to a daycare centre for Los Angeles’s disabled community. ‘Wonderfully inspirational’ PAUL BEATTY ‘A complicated joy’ RODDY DOYLEAmong the clients and staff are Carlos, a charismatic aide who lost his mother as a boy, and Jorge, who is gentle, nonspeaking and prone to escape despite Carlos’s best efforts. Tom, a beautiful young man with cerebral palsy, pines for Ann, the lifeguard for the summer who feels out of her depth. Then there’s Dave, the centre’s director. He wanted to be an actor, but finds himself on a very different path. At the heart of Upward Bound is Walter, a recent college student returning to the company of his peers after a family tragedy. Around him, a story unfolds of friendships forged, connections missed and the dreams – some new, others almost forgotten – that shape us. With his wit, empathy and astonishing gifts as a storyteller, Woody Brown immerses us in life as we have never experienced it before. ‘Gives us the world from the perspective of someone rarely noticed or understood . . . Wondrous’ RIVKA GALCHEN‘Woody Brown accomplishes the seemingly impossible’ MONA SIMPSON‘Highly original, captivating, brilliantly observed’ CAOILINN HUGHES
