Description
Jacob Finch Bonner fue una vez un joven novelista prometedor con un primer libro publicado respetablemente. Hoy, está enseñando en un programa MFA de tercer nivel y luchando por mantener lo que le queda de su autoestima; no ha escrito, y mucho menos publicado, nada decente en años. Cuando Evan Parker, su estudiante más arrogante, anuncia que no necesita la ayuda de Jake porque la trama de su libro en progreso es segura, Jake está preparado para descartar el alarde como el típico narcisismo amateur. Pero entonces... escucha la trama. Jake vuelve a la trayectoria descendente de su propia carrera y se prepara para la supernova publicación de la primera novela de Evan Parker: pero nunca llega. Cuando descubre que su antiguo alumno ha muerto, presumiblemente sin haber terminado su libro, Jake hace lo que cualquier escritor que se precie haría con una historia como esa: una historia que absolutamente necesita ser contada. En unos pocos años, todas las predicciones de Evan Parker se han hecho realidad, pero Jake es el autor que disfruta de la ola. Es rico, famoso, elogiado y leído en todo el mundo. Pero en el apogeo de su gloriosa nueva vida, llega un correo electrónico, la primera andanada de una aterradora campaña anónima: Eres un ladrón, dice. Mientras Jake se esfuerza por comprender a su antagonista y ocultar la verdad a sus lectores y editores, comienza a aprender más sobre su difunto alumno, y lo que descubre lo sorprende y lo aterroriza. ¿Quién era Evan Parker y cómo se le ocurrió la idea de su "cosa segura" de una novela? ¿Cuál es la verdadera historia detrás de la trama y quién se la robó a quién?
Description
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?
