A Spot of Bother
Mark Haddon
Synopsis "A Spot of Bother"
A Spot of Bother is Mark Haddon's unforgettable follow-up to the internationally beloved bestseller The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. At sixty-one, George Hall is settling down to a comfortable retirement. When his tempestuous daughter, Katie, announces that she is getting married to the deeply inappropriate Ray, the Hall family is thrown into a tizzy. Unnoticed in the uproar, George discovers a sinister lesion on his hip, and quietly begins to lose his mind. As parents and children fall apart and come together, Haddon paints a disturbing yet amusing portrait of a dignified man trying to go insane politely. A Washington Post Best Book of the Year
(Northampton, Inglaterra, 1963). Ilustrador, pintor, poeta y profesor de escritura creativa, es autor de cerca de una veintena de libros para niños. Tras licenciarse en Literatura Inglesa en la Universidad de Oxford, trabajó durante un tiempo con personas que padecían deficiencias físicas y mentales. Ha ejercido asimismo como guionista para la televisión, medio en el que ha ganado en dos ocasiones los prestigiosos premios BAFTA. Impulsado por un creciente proceso de boca a boca, El curioso incidente del perro a medianoche se ha convertido en un éxito sin precedentes en todos los países donde se ha publicado -los derechos se han vendido para 43 idiomas-, superando holgadamente los dos millones de ejemplares y alcanzando las listas de ventas en Inglaterra, Estados Unidos, Alemania, Italia y Francia.
