Top 10 de las mejores novelas de suspense internacional del año. Por la autora del bestseller mundial The Undoing ahora una serie de TV de HBO. Jacob Finch Bonner fue un joven y prometedor escritor cuya primera novela cosechó un éxito muy respetable. Hoy, él está enseñando en un programa de MFA de tercera categorÃa y lucha por mantener la poca dignidad que le queda; no ha escrito, y mucho menos publicado nada decente en años. Cuando Evan Parker, su alumno más arrogante, le dice a Jake que no necesita de su ayuda para continuar con su novela porque considera que la trama de su libro en progreso es magnÃfica, Jake lo tacha como el tÃpico narcisista aficionado. Pero entonces escucha la trama... Cuál es la verdadera historia detrás de la trama y quién se la robó a quién? ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A New York Times Notable Book of 2021
Insanely readable. --Stephen King Hailed as breathtakingly suspenseful, Jean Hanff Korelitz's The Plot is a propulsive read about a story too good not to steal, and the writer who steals it. Jacob Finch Bonner was once a promising young novelist with a respectably published first book. Today, he's teaching in a third-rate MFA program and struggling to maintain what's left of his self-respect; he hasn't written--let alone published-- anything decent in years. When Evan Parker, his most arrogant student, announces he doesn't need Jake's help because the plot of his book in progress is a sure thing, Jake is prepared to dismiss the boast as typical amateur narcissism. But then . . . he hears the plot. Jake returns to the downward trajectory of his own career and braces himself for the supernova publication of Evan Parker's first novel: but it never comes. When he discovers that his former student has died, presumably without ever completing his book, Jake does what any self-respecting writer would do with a story like that--a story that absolutely needs to be told. In a few short years, all of Evan Parker's predictions have come true, but Jake is the author enjoying the wave. He is wealthy, famous, praised and read all over the world. But at the height of his glorious new life, an e-mail arrives, the first salvo in a terrifying, anonymous campaign: You are a thief, it says. As Jake struggles to understand his antagonist and hide the truth from his readers and his publishers, he begins to learn more about his late student, and what he discovers both amazes and terrifies him. Who was Evan Parker, and how did he get the idea for his sure thing of a novel? What is the real story behind the plot, and who stole it from whom?
