Synopsis "The Infinities "

From the Booker Prize-winning author of The Sea comes a novel that is at once a gloriously earthy romp and a wise look at the terrible, wonderful plight of being human. "One of the great living masters of English-language prose. The Infinities is a dazzling example of that mastery." --Los Angeles TimesOn a languid midsummer's day in the countryside, the Godley family gathers at the bedside of Adam, a renowned mathematician and their patriarch. But they are not alone in their vigil. Around them hovers a clan of mischievous immortals--Zeus, Pan, and Hermes among them--who begin to stir up trouble for the Godleys, to sometimes wildly unintended effect.

John William Banville es un novelista irlandés nacido en Wexford en 1945, cuya prosa ha sido descrita como precisa, lírica y profundamente reflexiva. A lo largo de su carrera ha trabajado también como periodista, y bajo el seudónimo Benjamin Black ha escrito novelas policiacas protagonizadas por el patólogo Quirke. Sus historias tienden a explorar temas como la pérdida, la obsesión y la memoria, muchas veces con un tono existencial y filosófico.

Banville ha sido ampliamente premiado: ganó el Premio Booker» en 2005 por su novela The Sea, recibió el Premio Franz Kafka en 2011 y el Premio Príncipe de Asturias de las Letras en 2014. Entre sus obras más destacadas están El Mar (The Sea), Ancient Light y la novela corta The Newton Letter, que muestran su dominio de la introspección y de la narrativa reflexiva.
