Synopsis "Las Peculiares Memorias De Thomas Penman"
Set in England during the 1950s, this semiautobiographical novel follows 13-year-old Thomas Penman, a boy who lives in a small town in Kent and who is obsessed with all of his bodily excretions. Life at home and at school isn't easy, and only his grandfather Walter, a World War I veteran who collects pornographic magazines and communicates in Morse code, seems to understand him. Focusing on the relationship between Thomas and Walter, who is slowly dying of cancer, this novel features a dysfunctional family as the backdrop for important universal themes such as God and faith, puberty and coming-of-age, love and sex, hatred and bitterness, and life and death. Ambientada en Inglaterra en los años cincuenta, esta novela parcialmente autobiográfica sigue a Thomas Penman, un niño de 13 años que vive en un pueblecito en Kent y que está obsesionado con todas las excreciones de su cuerpo. La vida en su casa y escuela no es fácil, y sólo su abuelo Walter, un veterano de la Primera Guerra Mundial que colecciona revistas pornográficas y se comunica mediante el código Morse, parece entenderle. Enfocándose sobre la relación entre Thomas y Walter, quien se está muriendo de cáncer, esta novela usa una familia disfuncional para enmarcar temas universales importantes tales como Dios y la fe, la pubertad y la juventud, el amor y el sexo, el odio y el resentimiento y la vida y la muerte.
