SYNOPSIS
The author of the international bestseller Silk now delivers a ravishing and wildly inventive novel about friendship, genius and its discontents, and the redemptive power of narrative. Somewhere in America lives a brilliant boy named Gould, an intellectual guided missile aimed at the Nobel Prize. His only companions are an imaginary giant and an imaginary mute. Improbably—and yet with impeccable logic--he falls into the care of Shatzy Shell, a young woman whose life up till that point has been equally devoid of human connection .
Theirs is a relationship of stories and of stories within stories: of Gould’s evolving saga of an underdog boxer and the violent Western that Shatzy has been dictating into a tape recorder since the age of six. Out of these stories, Alessandro Baricco creates a masterpiece of metaphysical pulp fiction that recalls both Scheherazade and Italo Calvino. By turns exhilarating and deeply moving, City is irresistible.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Alessandro Baricco
Alessandro Baricco nasceu em Turim, em 1958, e a sua estreia na literatura deu-se aos 33 anos com o romance Castelos de Raiva.
O seu primeiro bestseller internacional, Seda (Dom Quixote, 2007) foi traduzido para várias línguas e os seis romances que escreveu ganharam inúmeros prémios literários, incluindo o Prix Médicis Étrangér, em França.
Sucesso de crítica e público, a sua obra é apelidada de «pós-moderna», expressão com múltiplas interpretações e que é, talvez, pequena para um autor que já marcou um espaço de destaque no universo da literatura mundial. Talvez por procurar uma intensidade na sua relação com os leitores, Baricco é hoje em dia um dos autores preferidos pelas camadas mais jovens.
A criação literária de Baricco é bastante diversificada, abrangendo peças de teatro, ensaios, coletâneas de artigos, entre outros. É ainda autor dos romances Oceano Mar, City, Sem Sangue (Dom Quixote, 2003) e de Esta História (Dom Quixote, 2008).
