Reseña del libro "The Papaya King (en Inglés)"
"An eccentric outsider is baffled by contemporary Manhattan in this engrossing second novel ... another entrancing, deeply memorable offering from Pelzman." -Kirkus Reviews"How could anyone who has ever spent time in Manhattan resist taking a peek at a book with this title? Happily, The Papaya King bears more than a passing resemblance to one of my favorite novels of all time, John Kennedy Toole's A Confederacy of Dunces ... I turned these pages fast ..." -Bethanne Patrick, Literary HubBobby Walser's tragic childhood has left him a man frozen in time and mired in a world of his own making-one that has little in common with reality. Genteel and old-fashioned, his manners and habits are more suited to an aristocrat from a Chekhov play than to a young man on Manhattan's Upper West Side.Haunted by his failure to live up to the legacy of his great father, Walser's sense of ineffectuality is compounded when he suffers a series of deflating professional setbacks. He's baffled by the people around him, and his only solace is the hope of a romance-conducted via handwritten letters-with a mysterious woman who may not even exist.As his despair with twenty-first century life reaches a breaking point, Walser bristles at a newly constructed sculpture that represents everything he loathes about these times. Realizing that he has more to care about-and fight for-outside himself, he marches toward a final showdown with this towering symbol of oppressive technology.
