Six suspects, Vikas Swarup

trance Exit the first success is proof that not everyone knows bear. When he was just 11 years old I got a 10 in mathematics, a discipline traditionally , if you can talk about traditions if you have only 11 years, was not mine. Perhaps because suddenly I found the logic, perhaps because someone could explain me well or because stars aligned in a special way. Whatever it was, 10 in mathematics, the first caused unbearable pressure before the next test. That the following note was 8 came as a shock. The note was good, better than the average of the previous reviews, but the fall of the drawer of perfection made me taste like dust. In any case, the pressure to stay on excellence had fallen and with that freedom I could spend studying as usual and forget about the stars.

So I can understand what had to be the writing of Six suspects to Vikas Swarup. The Indian diplomat profession is not novel. It's more a hobby, historically widely shared by members of the diplomatic career, which ended by farm a success and global visibility. With his first novel Slumdog Millonare or Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? , received all sorts of praise. The success of the film based on the novel made them multiply their sales. And before that 10, Swarup continued writing.

Six suspects is his second novel and stars, again, in India today. Yes, the protagonists are six, as the title suggests, Swarup but he wanted to teach all corners of India through them. This last sentence, which could be the slogan of any travel document certain appeal, it becomes the worst slab that could be made to this novel. Swarup is determined to take us to places and situations that force the story of the six suspects unnaturally. One has the feeling, while reading, that there are pages and pages where we have lost the time just to tell anecdotal. As an account of any enlightened solidarity that becoming unemployed decides to go to India to find himself and makes you say "poor but as good people," Swarup is responsible to show that the poor often are not fools and that poverty often has many faces. Interesting bit trite and archetypal, I notice.

But if we are to fully evaluate Six suspects will be forced to look beyond these blunders typical of a writer who, despite age and despite the success of initial public is beginning in this of the novel. The story it tells is a good detective story. A man, rich, powerful and corrupt, has been murdered in his house during the celebration of a party and the Indian police have detained six people present in it and carrying a weapon. From here, Swarup tells the stories of the six suspects in an original and attractive.

On the one hand we have a mobile thief in the slums of the city. Her story is presented in the present tense and first person, as if we were inside his head. The second suspect is the father of the murdered. This character is the Minister of Interior of an Indian state, corrupt politician and murderer on their own. His story is told through the conversations he has with many followers, leaders and other political figures and the Indian underworld. And we have two.

The female of the plot is one of the stars of Bollywood, who know through his diary. As a counterpoint, we have a native of a small island in the Indian newcomer to the continent and absolutely fascinated and dazzled by civilization, whose story is told in the classical and correct. Van and four.

The last two positions of the suspects shared an American who represents the deepest part of the United States, Texas and redneck, who by a series of coincidences come to India soon to start a new life, and whose expressions countryside I will mourn with laughter and an old secretary of the Indian ministry, vicious and evil which, by a series of coincidences, he has introduced the spirit of Gandhi's personality causing him problems.

addition, the novel is divided into several blocks of chapters that make it exciting. On one side are the chapters on "Presentation", which would become the traditional 'approach. " After explaining the "Mobile" each of the suspects, one by one, the "knot." And finally, the "Showdown", through which are played with money and little recontragiros contragiros and expected to end final.

A dilapidante Despite the criticism of the novel that has been done at the beginning of this entry, Swarup's book is recommended, especially for those who like crime novels to use. If a little disappointed is simply because we know positively that you have a little better care of the account details which are absolutely unnecessary, the aftertaste of his reading would have been very different. As it is, you end up thinking that reading sometimes has had to make an excessive effort for the awards that offers the end. But either way, you can enjoy and at the end reading each of the phones, the game thinking about how and who has been murdering the dead is really fun-which is the minimum that you can ask a detective novel.

may not be a book for a 10, as sales gained acceptance in his first novel, but Six suspects is a book of between 6 and 7, just above the average of others that were written by professional literature. What is not bad for a diplomat.

Cold Skin by Albert Sánchez Piñol

There are books to which it is difficult to come precisely because all the praise we have heard about them. " The Heart of Darkness Catalan," he called. An adventure book capable of circumventing the puritanical moral complacency Western mentality of the early twenty-first century. And so forth. But in addition, the whispers about books that we all get told that Cold Skin, by Albert Sánchez Piñol was a story exciting, scary and shocking that left you stuck to your seat from the outset. Too much praise for daring to him like that. Too many previous disappointments to bear a new one. Thus, accumulating fear of disappointment, copy cold skin became smaller and smaller within the shelf. He was losing weight rapidly in favor of other readings that promised less and that therefore, their disappointment would be lower.

But as always in this life, in the end you end up deciding, let's look at that brunette who sits on the fourth row of Regional Ethnology class-for example-and closer to his ear telling him that during months have you thinking that you say have the courage. You may release the slap. You may not ignore. Or even tell you a story exciting, a moral and psychological fable you still have several weeks after thinking about it. Sánchez Piñol's that dark.

skin cold, critical eye award of RNE , begins with atmospheric officer arriving by boat to a remote South Atlantic island. The island, in the form of L and only a few square kilometers, is uninhabited and only two buildings: a lighthouse built on one end and a technical-enabled home, on the other. The coach has come to spend an entire year of solo work by measuring the intensity and wind direction at a time where there are no computers or phones. It is a job for someone who is fleeing from something and who is not afraid of himself.

However

rush events. The technician must share the island with a resident Lighthouse, shy and not given to dialogue. And it must also survive them.

them This is the real theme of the novel. Many, more than anyone ever could have imagined, and have unexplained reasons. Barbarians and savages sometimes, other Cartesian logic, no longer insist on their efforts against these strange inhabitants of the island. Do not give a single break in the mind of the coach, who tries to interpret reality with all the principles that went into the trunk of luggage.

Sánchez Piñol is an anthropologist and expert in African realities through the Centre d'Estudis Africans of Barcelona. The symmetries between the conquest of the island by these two characters and the colonization of Africa or the speeches of the colonial encounter and barbarism are evident. There are many points of reflection on the interpretation of other -or in this case they - through European views. It is for this reason that compares the novel with the brilliant work of Conrad. The technician is the equivalent to atmospheric character named Conrad Marlow, while the surly keeper can detect traces of a Kurtz away from civilization for so long that it is incapable to re-think like her.

Obviously the work of Sánchez Piñol nor a copy of Conrad nor has the extent of it. However, the moral disquisition and meeting that are common to both, cold skin adds a human element of desire, fear and revenge. This story puts us in the shoes of atmospheric technical and makes us understand the twists at the beginning so utterly inconceivable and surprising, that his mind and ends up providing, teaching us how desire is the most potent weapon, that open war, fighting continues and does not grant any relief to the mind.

After reading, a reading that is difficult to give notice and the images of terror, tenderness and moral arguments he has given us the book are hard to forget. It is difficult to talk about this exciting story without decoding any more of the exciting plot, so just add that we will never look the same eyes a cat flap [glups]. Enjoy it.
