El mundo según Garp book cover
El mundo según Garp
A Novel (Ballantine Reader's Circle)
John Irving - 1999-04-01 (publicado por primera vez en 1978)
Calificación de Goodreads
En 1942, tras un episodio escandaloso, Jenny Fields, una joven bostoniana de buena familia, abandona la seguridad del hogar para ser enfermera y vivir su vida. En circunstancias peculiares, concibe a un niño al que llama Garp, a secas. Madre e hijo, se abren paso, sin mas armas que su propia energía, en un mundo de hipocresía, inhibiciones y violencia. Poco a poco, con los años, Jenny y Garp van diseñando su propio universo en medio de esa hostilidad inevitable en la que siempre acecha la sombra del Sapo Sumergido. Lo van poblando de personajes excéntricos, cuyas historias estrafalarias van dando forma a ese mundo de Garp un poco desquiciado, pero en el que todos parecen convivir en cierto armónico equilibrio, en un sistema tribal que, al final, ha ocupado por completo el lugar del antiguo hogar de Jenny. El mundo según Garp es, de hecho, el mundo tal como lo conocemos. La única diferencia, es que Garp, que es escritor, se arriesga con humor allí donde nosotros, menos curiosos, nos inhibimos.

Rodham
A Novel
Curtis Sittenfeld - 2020-05-19
Calificación de Goodreads
"Rodham" is a fascinating novel that imagines what would have happened if Hillary Rodham had not married Bill Clinton. In this bold alternate reality, Hillary blazes her own trail, facing the challenges of female ambition in a world still run mostly by men. From Yale Law School to the forefront of student activism and the women’s rights movement, this riveting tale explores the emotional and physical connection that she finds with Bill, and the devastating breakup that ensues. Curtis Sittenfeld delivers an uncannily astute and witty story for our times, weaving a fictional narrative into actual historical events, making "Rodham" an unforgettable novel.

And the Band Played On
Randy Shilts - 2000-04-09 (publicado por primera vez en 1987)
Calificación de Goodreads
This investigative masterpiece delves into the spread of AIDS in the early 80s and the institutions that ignored or denied the threat. A modern classic, it changed the discourse surrounding AIDS and remains essential reading 20 years after its initial publication.

Timely book recommendation: if you've never read it, AND THE BAND PLAYED ON is Randy Shilts' incredible telling of the early days of the AIDS epidemic. Dr. Anthony Fauci has a starring, and heroic, role.      fuente
