James Sveck, el narrador de esta novela, es un adolescente inteligente y precoz, ha terminado el colegio y durante el verano trabaja en la galería de arte que su madre tiene en Manhattan y en la que casi nunca entra a nadie. Pese a haber sido admitido en la prestigiosa Universidad e Brown no está seguro de querer ir; lo que de verdad le gustaría es comprarse una casa en el campo y pasarse el día leyendo, sin ser molestado; detesta relacionarse con gente de su edad, a la que evita y con la que piensa que no tiene nada en común. -- La narración de James nos ofrece una sarcástica y divertida mirada sobre su confusa vida, sobre cómo su desestructurada familia y su psiquiatra tratan en vano de ayudarle, o sobre cómo intenta, torpemente, aclararse y salir de su aislamiento. Considerada por la crítica estadounidense como una de las mejores novelas que se han publicado en los últimos años sobre Nueva York, Algún día este dolor te será útil es una aguda y emotiva novela sobre un joven capaz de cuestionarse a sí mismo, a su familia y al tiempo que le ha tocado vivir.

A novel about deceit, desire, and the persistence of memory. After a devastating personal tragedy, a man leaves the United States to start a new life. The country he settles in, Andorra, eerily echoes his past - especially when he begins to fall in love with two women simultaneously.

A couple find themselves at a fading, grand European hotel full of eccentric and sometimes unsettling patrons in this "faultlessly elegant and quietly menacing" allegorical story that examines the significance of shifting desires and the uncertainty of reality (Garth Greenwell, author of Cleanness). An unnamed American couple travels to a strange, snowy European city to adopt a baby. It’s a difficult journey that leaves the wife, who is struggling with cancer, desperately weak, and her husband worries that her illness will prevent the orphanage from releasing their child. On arrival, the couple checks into the cavernous and eerily deserted Borgarfjaroasysla Grand Imperial Hotel where the bar is always open and the lobby populated with an enigmatic cast of characters ranging from an ancient, flamboyant chanteuse to a debauched businessman to an enigmatic faith healer. Nothing is as it seems in this baffling, frozen world, and the more the couple struggles to claim their baby, the less they seem to know about their marriage, themselves, and life itself. For readers of Ian McEwan, Elizabeth Strout, and Iris Murdoch, What Happens at Night is a "masterpiece" (Edmund White) poised on the cusp of reality, told by "an elegantly acute and mysteriously beguiling writer" (Richard Eder, The Boston Globe).

Coral Glynn arrives at Hart House, an isolated manse in the English countryside, early in the very wet spring of 1950, to nurse the elderly Mrs. Hart, who is dying of cancer.  Hart House is also inhabited by Mrs. Prence, the perpetually disgruntled housekeeper, and Major Clement Hart, Mrs. Hart's war-ravaged son, who is struggling to come to terms with his latent homosexuality. When a child's game goes violently awry in the woods surrounding Hart House, a great shadow - love, perhaps - descends upon its inhabitants. Like the misguided child's play, other seemingly random events - a torn dress, a missing ring, a lost letter - propel Coral and Clement into the dark thicket of marriage. A period novel observed through a refreshingly gimlet eye, Coral Glynn explores how quickly need and desire can blossom into love, and just as quickly transform into something less categorical. Borrowing from themes and characters prevalent in the work of mid-twentieth-century British women writers, Peter Cameron examines how we live and how we love - with his customary empathy and wit.
