Description
Aclamada por la crítica, nominada en las diez mejores listas del año y ganadora del Premio William C. Morris, El rey serpiente es la historia de tres adolescentes que se encuentran a sí mismos, y entre ellos, mientras esperan graduarse de la escuela secundaria con la esperanza de dejar atrás un pequeño pueblo de Tennessee. Dill no es el niño más popular en su escuela secundaria rural de Tennessee. Después de que su padre cayó en desgracia en un escándalo público que resonó en toda su pequeña ciudad, Dill se convirtió en objetivo de bullying. Afortunadamente, sus dos compañeros inadaptados y mejores amigos, Travis y Lydia, le cubren las espaldas. Pero a medida que comienzan su último año, Dill siente que su futuro se acerca amenazante. Sus únicos escapes son la música y sus sentimientos secretos hacia Lydia, ninguno de los cuales es lo suficientemente valiente para compartir. La graduación se siente más como un final para Dill que un comienzo. Pero incluso antes de eso, debe lidiar con otro final, uno que sacudirá su vida hasta la médula. El novelista de primer nivel Jeff Zentner brinda una visión cómica y sin parpadear de las dura realidad de crecer en una región donde el cristianismo evangélico tiene un profundo arraigo social, y una mirada íntima a las luchas por encontrar el verdadero yo en los restos del pasado.--,Amazon.com
Description
Dill isn't the most popular kid at his rural Tennessee high school. After his father fell from grace in a public scandal that reverberated throughout their small town, Dill became a target. Fortunately, his two fellow misfits and best friends, Travis and Lydia, have his back. But as they begin their senior year, Dill feels the coils of his future tightening around him. His only escapes are music and his secret feelings for Lydia--neither of which he is brave enough to share. Graduation feels more like an ending to Dill than a beginning. But even before then, he must cope with another ending--one that will rock his life to the core. Debut novelist Jeff Zentner provides an unblinking and at times comic view of the hard realities of growing up in the Bible belt, and an intimate look at the struggles to find one's true self in the wreckage of the past.--,Amazon.com.
