Synopsis "PASAJERO, EL/STELLA MARIS (in Spanish)"

El pasajero

1980, Mississippi. Bobby Western se sumerge en el mar del golfo de México con su traje de neopreno e ilumina un avión hundido con la linterna de buceo: hay nueve cuerpos con el cinturón de seguridad aún abrochado. Faltan la caja negra y el décimo pasajero. Pero ¿cómo es posible? Testigo colateral de maquinaciones que solo pueden perjudicarlo, Bobby se ve ensombrecido en cuerpo y espíritu por hombres con placa, por el fantasma de su padre (uno de los inventores de la bomba de Hiroshima) y por su hermana, el amor y la ruina de su alma. El pasajero es una abrumadora novela sobre la moralidad y la ciencia, el legado del pecado y la locura que se aloja en la conciencia humana.

(Rhode Island, 1933 - 2023 New Mexico) spent much of his childhood in Knoxville, Tennessee, where his first four novels are set. By 1965, he began to attract international critical attention with The Orchard Keeper, for which he won the Faulkner Award.

He won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for The Road and the National Book Award for All the Pretty Horses. He is considered one of the four major American novelists of his time. His dense prose is categorized within the Southern Gothic genre for its stylistic complexity and the darkness and violence it presents. His books Outer Dark, Child of God, and Suttree, have been compared to the works of William Faulkner and Flannery O'Connor.
