About the Book

Tras permanecer más de una década agotada y requerida por los lectores, Alfaguara publica esta nueva edición, especialmente revisada, de La vida en las ventanas. Una novela que fue pionera en explorar ciertas transformaciones del cambio de siglo, escenificando conflictos como los vínculos virtuales, la desestructuración familiar, los roles de género, el impacto de la publicidad, las nuevas comunicaciones, la soledad de siempre.

¿Hasta qué punto está solo quien escribe?

A comienzos de la era internauta, desde alguna provincia española, un estudiante universitario le escribe insistentemente a alguien que no contesta. A través de sus agudos correos, va avanzando como un detective de las emociones hasta tejer un sutil juego de espejos e identidades donde ficción, virtualidad y memoria son espacios vecinos.

Las peripecias de este narrador en la estirpe de Salinger, con su voz intensa, sarcástica y lúcidamente inmadura, trazan un retrato de la furia melancólica de la juventud, a la vez que ofrecen una crónica del decisivo interregno que tuvo lugar entre el mundo analógico y el de las redes sociales. La angustia del futuro, en una sociedad que finge adorar a sus jóvenes mientras les cierra las puertas, se combina con la búsqueda de un territorio propio.

Reseñas:
«Neuman logra seducir a los lectores, dejándolos con ganas de más.»
The New York Times

«Una escritura de una calidad que rara vez se encuentra. Al leer la hermosa novela de Neuman, te das cuenta de que el listón ha quedado muy alto.»
The Guardian

«Andrés Neuman se ha convertido en un peso pesado de la literatura. Un argumento a favor de las virtudes literarias.»
Times Literary Supplement

«Una obra de auténtica belleza y brillante inteligencia de un autor de prodigioso talento.»
The Independent

«Una rara y deliciosa obramaestra: una novela de ideas con alma de poeta.»
Booklist

«Tiene la habilidad de innovar continuamente sin menoscabo de una poderosa inteligencia y empatía. Uno de esos raros escritores capaces de sintetizar las más complejas emociones humanas sin aparente dificultad.»
Music & Literature

«Neuman multiplica el lenguaje y va camino de convertirse en un clásico.»
La Repubblica

«Una soberana lección de narrativa comprometida con algunos dolores del mundo y con el rigor artístico.»
El País

«Una prosa exquisita que se combina con la sensibilidad de un escritor que sacude las certezas y los encasillamientos.»
Revista Ñ

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A unique novel about lack of communication and alienation in the era of the Internet.

A new edition revised by the author.

One of the most prominent writers in Spanish-language literature, translated to 20 languages, winner of the Critics and Alfaguara Novel Prizes, and a finalist for the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize and the Herralde Prize.

Net is a young university student whose life seems to not make much sense. At the beginning of the 21st century, when apparently, no barriers exist to limit the communication between human beings, he, along with the rest of his family members, lives tormented by solitude, monotony, and silence. The only window that offers him an escape is his computer screen, through the unanswered e-mails that he writes to his ex-girlfriend Marina, a faceless, voiceless woman whom he paradoxically considers the only person capable of understanding him. He thus goes about constructing his autobiography through memory and the acceptance of his feelings. Just by talking to someone who isn't there, he feels able to overcome the isolation in which he lives. Life in the Windows is an epistolary tale about loneliness and the lack of communication in the era of communications. A novel about the influence that the virtual world has over our memories, our way of looking at the world, and the relationships we establish with others.
