Void: A Novel

Rate this book
Melpomene Lau is a Spanish literature professor born to a Cantonese father. She works in a fictional Singaporean university in the year 2032 and devotes her literary pursuits to writing an erotic novel intentionally devoid of literary qualities, as she is convinced of the emptiness of the modern world. This emptiness is epitomised by the existential void that obsesses her since the suicide of her best friend in Seville.

Es una novela fantástica, no se lee, se devora. Está narrada en un inglés exquisito, lo cual no choca con que su lectura sea sencilla y permita un ritmo alegre. Está dividida en 40 y pico capítulos que son muy, muy cortos, algo que facilita el cortar donde uno quiera sin necesidad de dejar un texto a medio.

La trama es fabulosa, con escenarios en Sevilla, Madrid, Granada, UK, Singapur, Hong Kong... Está llena de referencias a obras de literatura y autores, clásicos y actuales, que convierten la novela en una delicia.

La historia está muy bien hilada, incluyendo unos toques futuristas y de ciencia ficción que me han sorprendido mucho. Para mí, el capítulo titulado Distopía es la clave.

Muy recomendable.
