2020-11-17T21:17:52.000ZEn una pequeña isla se produce un misterioso fenómeno. Un día desaparecen los pájaros, al siguiente podría desaparecer cualquier cosa: los peces, los árboles... Peor aún, también se desvanecerá la memoria de ellos, al igual que las emociones y sensaciones que llevaban asociadas. Nadie sabrá ni recordará entonces qué eran. Hay incluso una policía dedicada a perseguir a los que conservan la capacidad de recordar lo que ya no existe.
En esa isla vive una joven escritora que, tras la muerte de su madre, intenta escribir una novela mientras trata de proteger a su editor, que está en peligro porque forma parte de los pocos que recuerdan. La ayudará un anciano al que empiezan a fallarle las fuerzas. Mientras, lentamente, nuestra protagonista va dando forma a su novela: es el relato de una mecanógrafa cuyo jefe acaba reteniéndola contra su voluntad en un altillo.
Una obra sobre el poder de la memoria y sobre la pérdida.

De gatillo fácil y escasos escrúpulos, mientras trabaja en un bar de topless de Montana recibe el encargo de encontrar a un escritor en paradero desconocido. Sin que Sughrue lo pretenda, su búsqueda le llevará a interesarse por la desaparición de una joven diez años atrás en San Francisco. Esta nueva tarea, sin embargo, se convertirá en un intrépido viaje a las entrañas de una nación que sufre las consecuencias psicológicas de una guerra, con sus pesadillas y sus sombras aflorando a cada paso. Con su prosa elegante y un retrato sin concesiones de una sociedad en decadencia, El último buen beso es una experiencia llena de trepidante acción, cruel ironía y crítica brutal al género humano. El sexo, el dinero, la corrupción, la violencia y las drogas se hacen un hueco en una fascinante historia donde lo más importante es dejar atrás el propio pasado.
