Una novela electrizante que se pregunta hasta qué punto llegamos a conocer a aquellos que nos rodean
Una joven se muda de Nueva York a La Haya para empezar a trabajar como intérprete en el Tribunal Penal Internacional. La plenitud que le procura su nueva vida –una estimulante red de conocidos y amigos, un buen empleo, una incipiente historia de amor– le hace sentir que tal vez ha encontrado, como anhelaba, un lugar al que llamar hogar. Sin embargo, ese bienestar pronto comienza a resquebrajarse. Adriaan, su amante, abandona unos días la ciudad para reunirse con su esposa y concluir los trámites del divorcio, y repentinamente deja de contestar sus llamadas. A la vez, la protagonista recibe el encargo de traducir durante un juicio a un exjefe de Estado de un país africano acusado de crímenes de guerra, lo que la obliga a hacer suya la voz del criminal y a establecer con él una suerte de complicidad que nunca hubiera deseado. Mujer introvertida y observadora, se esfuerza por descifrar lo que está ocurriendo a su alrededor, pero no encuentra más que incertidumbres. Lo que parecía ser un camino recto se ha convertido de pronto en un laberinto.
Hipnótica y de una rara intensidad emocional, Intimidades, cuarta novela de Katie Kitamura, muestra el indiscutible talento de la escritora estadounidense para desnudar lo familiar y revelar sus aspectos más desconcertantes. Una lectura adictiva que se cuestiona hasta qué punto llegamos a conocer y comprender verdaderamente las motivaciones de aquellos que nos rodean y que reflexiona sobre el modo en que las intimidades, escogidas o impuestas, condicionan el curso de nuestras vidas.
«Intimidades es tan elegante y bella –¡esas frases!– como psicológicamente desconcertante. Una escritora absolutamente brillante ».
Julie Otsuka, The New York Times
«Una novela que con gran suspense explora las innumerables repercusiones que provoca la proximidad al poder y a la violencia».
