Sobre este áudio

From the best-selling author of The Dogs of Babel comes a dazzling literary mystery about the lengths to which some people will go to rewrite their past. Best-selling novelist Octavia Frost has just completed her latest book - a revolutionary novel in which she has rewritten the last chapters of all her previous books, removing clues about her personal life concealed within, especially a horrific tragedy that befell her family years ago. On her way to deliver the manuscript to her editor, Octavia reads a news crawl in Times Square and learns that her rock-star son, Milo, has been arrested for murder. Though she and Milo haven’t spoken in years - an estrangement stemming from that tragic day - she drops everything to go to him. 

The “last chapters” of Octavia’s novel are layered throughout The Nobodies Album - the scattered puzzle pieces to her and Milo’s dark and troubled past. Did she drive her son to murder? Did Milo murder anyone at all? And what exactly happened all those years ago? As the novel builds to a stunning reveal, Octavia must consider how this story will come to a close. Universally praised for her candid explorations of the human psyche, Parkhurst delivers an emotionally gripping and resonant mystery about a mother and her son, and about the possibility that one can never truly know another person.

Resumo da Crítica

"As she did in The Dogs of Babel, with its human protagonist trying to coax forth information from his dog, Ms. Parkhurst once again proves that she writes with crisp precision but can also make heads spin." (The New York Times)

"In The Nobodies Album, with a light but sure hand, Carolyn Parkhurst joins together four disparate literary forms: the family drama, the short story, the philosophical essay on language and, yes, the whodunit. Her weave is smooth, a vigorous hybrid of the old-fashioned, the modern and the postmodern. She reminds is what an act of will and imagination it has always taken for a writer to convert nobodies into somebodies in any genre, whether at the desk or in the world." (The New York Times Book Review)

"The Nobodies Album is brisk and engaging...[it] succeeds in probing nuanced issues of guilt and innocence through an intricate collage of memories and musings...." (The Washington Post)
