SYNOPSIS
‘One of our finest living authors … propulsively entertaining’ New York Times
'Sly, profound … Electrifying' Observer
‘Wonderfully strange and alive’ Jon McGregor
A propulsive, seductive new novel about friendship, exploitation and intimacy from the prize-winning author of Where Reasons End
Fabienne is dead. Her childhood best friend, Agnès, receives the news in America, far from the French countryside where the two girls were raised - the place that Fabienne helped Agnès escape ten years ago. Now, Agnès is free to tell her story.
As children in a backwater town, they’d built a private world, invisible to everyone but themselves - until Fabienne hatched the plan that would change everything, launching Agnès on an epic trajectory through fame, fortune, and terrible loss.
‘Beguiling … A shimmering, unsettling tale of exploitation and manipulation’ Daily Mail
‘Haunting and strange … Li has made her style her own’ Tessa Hadley, Guardian
‘A dazzling, subtle, skilful knockout’ Charlotte Mendelson, author of The Exhibitionist

REVIEWS
Uma leitura promissora, que acaba por ficar aquém
Sofia C.
Quando comecei a ler o The Book of Goose de Yiyun Li pensei que tinha muito potencial, mas acabou por falhar no final. Sinto que estava tão enraizado no cenário inicial que, quando a personagem se mudou para Paris e, mais tarde, para Londres, algo se perdeu. Um livro que apesar de muito bem escrito, não consegue passar os sentimentos esperados ao leitor.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Yiyun Li
Yiyun Li nasceu em Pequim, em 1972, e vive nos Estados Unidos desde 1996. É professora de Literatura e Escrita na Universidade de Princeton.
Estreou-se com o livro de contos A thousand years of good prayers, distinguido com vários prémios: PEN/Hemingway Award, Frank O’Connor International Short Story Award, Guardian First Book Award ou Whitting Award. Viria a publicar depois as coletâneas Gold boy, emerald girl e Wednesday’s child (finalista do Pulitzer Prize). O seu primeiro romance, The vagrants, foi finalista do International Dublin Literary Award. Seguiram-se Kinder than solitude, Where reasons end (PEN/Jean Stein Book Award), Must I go e The book of goose (PEN/Faukner Award for Fiction). Publicou ainda os livros de memórias Dear friend, from my life I write to you in your life e Tudo na natureza apenas continua, o qual marca a sua estreia em Portugal, na Alfaguara.
Yiyun Li tem recebido prestigiadas distinções, como a MacArthur Foundation Fellowship e a Guggenheim Fellowship. Foi integrada pela Granta, em 2007, na seleção dos 21 melhores jovens romancistas americanos e, em 2010, a New Yorker distinguiu-a nos «20 under 40». Foi galardoada com o American Academy of Arts and Letters’s Award, com o Windham-Campbell Literature Prize for Fiction e com o PEN/Malamud Award. Os seus livros estão traduzidos em mais de vinte línguas.
