Synopsis "Fuera de Juego (in Spanish)"

La ruleta y sus azares como una vía de escape a una existencia anodina. Carrère retrata a una adicta al juego. Frédérique, mujer de clase media, profesora, separada y con un hijo, lleva una vida aburrida y banal, sin grandes alicientes. Hasta que un día descubre la ruleta y con ella la adrenalina del azar del juego y los caprichos del destino. La ruleta se convierte en una obsesión que la va despegando de su realidad cotidiana, conoce a otro jugador y con él emprende un periplo por todos los casinos de Francia... La escritura metódica de Emmanuel Carrère introduce al lector en la espiral autodestructiva de una mujer que trata de escabullirse de una existencia anodina ofrendando su destino al azar. "Una novela virtuosa... En treinta y siete capítulos, tantos como números tiene la ruleta, el novelista despliega su juego." (Le Point).
