Los personajes de esta novela están permanentemente tentados por la posibilidad de una existencia alternativa.
La contravida habla de las personas que para hacer reales sus sueños de renovación y huida, concentran sus vidas, e incluso las arriesgan, en cambiar un destino que parece irreversible.
Donde quiera que se encuentren, los personajes de esta novela están permanentemente tentados por la posibilidad de una existencia alternativa que podría dar un giro a su futuro. Iluminando estas vidas en transición y guiándolas a través de paisajes familiares o ajenos está la mente del novelista Nathan Zuckerman, escéptica y envolvente. Ella calcula cuál es el precio que hay que pagar por querer moldear la historia, tanto en la consulta de un dentista de New Jersey como en un pueblo de Gloucestershire, en una iglesia del West End londinense o en un asentamiento judío de Cisjordania.
Reseña:
«Roth es un genio de la comedia... Este libro (maravillosamente incisivo, preocupantemente tenso) es eléctrico.»
Martin Amis
