Spanning thirty years, from Cambridge, Massachusetts, to Venice Beach, California, and lands in between and far beyond, Gabrielle Zevin's Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow is a dazzling and intricately imagined novel that examines the multifarious nature of identity, disability, failure, the redemptive possibilities in play, and above all, our need to connect: to be loved and to love. Yes, it is a love story, but it is not one you have read before.
Un viatge profund pels mons emocionals (i digitals) de dos nerds gamers ferits cadascun a la seva manera. Una narració juganera, molt intel·ligent i punyet, i una traducció deliciosa. Un ús brillant de l'omissió (l'el·lipsi?) i la primera ficció que llegeixo amb el videojoc al centre. És un llibre amb influències dels videojocs en tot el seu ser.
3,5 El libro es sencillo de leer, entretenido sobre todo para una friki como yo. Desarrolladores de videojuegos, personalidades fuertes, traumas, egos. Me enganchó bastante al principio, pero la segunda mitad va decayendo. Los eventos empiezan a no tener sentido, los personajes se van quedando sin contenido y, al final, me quedo con la sensación de que no ha sido todo lo redondo que podía haber sido.
A beautiful story of people doing their best to love another. Just clever enough and just heart-wrenching enough
trying to keep my cool about it but this book fucking destroyed me, it's so good
