Marcelo in the Real World - Tapa blanda
Críticas:
"Stork introduces ethical dilemmas, the possibility of love, and other "real world" conflicts, all the while preserving the integrity of his characterizations and intensifying the novel's psychological and emotional stakes. Not to be missed." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review
"...Stork delivers a powerful tale populated by appealing (and decidedly unappealing) characters and rich in emotional nuance." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review
"Writing in a first-person narrative, Stork does an amazing job of entering Marcelo's consciousness and presenting him as a dynamic, sympathetic, and wholly believable character." -- School Library Journal, starred review
"It is the rare novel that reaffirms a belief in goodness; rarer still is one that does so this emphatically." -- Horn Book, starred review
"Shot with spirtualism, laced with love, and fraught with conundrums, this book, like Marcelo himself, surprises." -- Booklist, starred review
"[I]n the skillful hands of Francisco X. Stork, 17-year-old Marcelo Sandoval is the bravest, most original hero I've met in years...[A] brisk, brilliant, unsentimental novel..." -- New York Times
"Part coming-of-age story, part mystery and wholly compelling..." -- Washington Post
"While several recent books have used the conceit of an autistic protagonist, this thoughtful novel full of complicated characters is unique." -- Chicago Sun-Times
"Stork has written a beautiful study of the loss of innocence, as the questions Marcelo confronts are ones everyone has to grapple with in some form or other..." -- Los Angeles Times

The term "cognitive disorder" implies there is something wrong with the way I think or the way I perceive reality. I perceive reality just fine. Sometimes I perceive more of reality than others.
Marcelo Sandoval hears music that nobody else can hear — part of an autism-like condition that no doctor has been able to identify. But his father has never fully believed in the music or Marcelo's differences, and he challenges Marcelo to work in the mailroom of his law firm for the summer . . . to join "the real world."
There Marcelo meets Jasmine, his beautiful and surprising coworker, and Wendell, the son of another partner in the firm. He learns about competition and jealousy, anger and desire. But it's a picture he finds in a file a picture of a girl with half a face that truly connects him with the real world: its suffering, its injustice, and what he can do to fight.

Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The paperback edition of one of the most acclaimed novels of the year — a love story & legal drama that received five starred reviews and multiple honors. Marcelo Sandoval hears music no one else can hear—part of the autism-like impairment no doctor has been able to identify—and he's always attended a special school where his differences have been protected. But the summer after his junior year, his father demands that Marcelo work in his law firm's mailroom in order to experience "the real world." There Marcelo meets Jasmine, his beautiful and surprising coworker, and Wendell, the son of another partner in the firm. He learns about competition and jealousy, anger and desire. But it's a picture he finds in a file — a picture of a girl with half a face — that truly connects him with the real world: its suffering, its injustice, and what he can do to fight. Reminiscent of "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" in the intensity and purity of its voice, this extraordinary novel is a love story, a legal drama, and a celebration of the music each of us hears inside. Reminiscent of "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" in the intensity and purity of its voice, this extraordinary novel challenges the boundaries of autism. It is a love story, a legal drama, and a celebration of the music each of us hears inside. Levine Books.
