Synopsis "La Hija del Sepulturero / the Gravedigger's Daughter (Spanish Edition) [Soft Cover ] (in Spanish)"

«No hay tema literario que sea ajeno a la voracidad de Joyce Carol  Oates, a su habilidad narrativa, al ritmo que sabe imprimir a cada relato».- La Vanguardia En 1936, los Schwart, una familia de inmigrantes desesperada por escapar de la Alemanianazi, se instala en una pequeña ciudad en  el interior del Estado de Nueva York. El padre, un profesor de instituto, es rebajado al único trabajo al que tiene acceso: sepulturero y vigilante de cementerio. Los prejuicios locales y la debilidad emocional de los Schwart suscitan una terrible tragedia familiar. Rebecca, la hija del sepulturero,  comienza entonces su sorprendente peregrinación por la «América profunda», una odisea deriesgo erótico e intrépida imaginación  que la obligará a reinventarse.ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In 1936 the Schwarts, an immigrant family desperate to escape Nazi Germany, settle in a small town in upstate New York, where the father, a former high school teacher, is demeaned by the only job he can get: gravedigger and cemetery caretaker. After local prejudice and the family's own emotional frailty result in unspeakable tragedy, the gravedigger's daughter, Rebecca, begins her astonishing pilgrimage into the heart of America, an odyssey of erotic risk and ingenious self-invention, and, in the end, a bittersweet—but very "American"—triumph.
