Uno de los mejores libros del Siglo XXI seg?n el New York Times

Un debut aclamado por la cr?tica americana.

La vida de la familia Torres es un caos. El padre, puertorrique?o «Paps , y la madre, nacida en Brooklyn «Ma , deciden tener tres hijos pese a su precaria situaci?n laboral. Les dar?n una educaci?n peculiar que se desarrollar? entre trabajos basura, problemas en el barrio y an?cdotas familiares ?ntimas y divertidas.

En ese marco, solo el cari?o y el amor entre ellos har?n posible que sobrevivan en esa jungla que es la ciudad. Pero la principal jungla de la historia es la de la infancia, porque los tres ni?os, los verdaderos protagonistas de la novela, se comportar?n como peque?os animales en continuo aprendizaje: travesuras, extra?as conversaciones con los adultos, juegos, inocencia y destellos de esa inteligencia tan l?cida y en ocasiones impropia de los ni?os peque?os.

El componente autobiogr?fico hace a?n m?s interesante este relato, pues retrata a la perfecci?n la vida en las afueras de Nueva York a finales de los ochenta y las oportunidades que esta ciudad ofrec?a a los habitantes del colectivo latino.

Este libro presenta un universo en el que el lector se siente c?modo, ya que es cercano y est? cargado de im?genes de gran belleza y lirismo, y consigue hablar del amor y del cari?o en la familia sin utilizar el discurso cursi o manido al que estamos acostumbrados.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

One of the New York Times's 100 Best Books of the 21st Century

The critically acclaimed debut from the National Book Award-winning author of Blackouts.

In this award-winning, groundbreaking novel, Justin Torres plunges us into the chaotic heart of one family, the intense bonds of three brothers, and the mythic effects of this fierce love on the people we must become.

"A tremendously gifted writer whose highly personal voice should excite us in much the same way that Raymond Carver's or Jeffrey Eugenides's voice did when we first heard it."--The Washington Post

Three brothers tear their way through childhood-- smashing tomatoes all over each other, building kites from trash, hiding out when their parents do battle, tiptoeing around the house as their mother sleeps off her graveyard shift. Paps and Ma are from Brooklyn--he's Puerto Rican, she's white--and their love is a serious, dangerous thing that makes and unmakes a family many times. Life in this family is fierce and absorbing, full of chaos and heartbreak and the euphoria of belonging completely to one another.

From the intense familial unity felt by a child to the profound alienation he endures as he begins to see the world, this beautiful novel reinvents the coming-of-age story in a way that is sly and punch-in-the-stomach powerful.

"We the Animals is a dark jewel of a book. It's heartbreaking. It's beautiful. It resembles no other book I've read."--Michael Cunningham

"A fiery ode to boyhood . . . A welterweight champ of a book."--NPR, Weekend Edition
