Doñoro Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 17 hours 9 minutes Release date: May 31, 2022 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Yale Tishman es uno de los muchos amigos de Nico que se han reunido para honrar su memoria en una pequeña fiesta. A la misma hora, no muy lejos de allí, se celebra en una iglesia el funeral oficial, organizado por la familia, que ha dejado bien claro que sus amigos no son bienvenidos. Es Chicago, es 1985, y esos amigos son homosexuales. En otros tiempos, tal vez, Yale lo habría tenido todo para ser feliz: una relación estable, un grupo de amigos muy unido y una carrera prometedora. Sin embargo, es Chicago, es 1985, y el SIDA causa verdaderos estragos: uno a uno, sus amigos enferman, y cada día que pasa el virus estrecha más su cerco alrededor de Yale. Pronto, solo podrá apoyarse en la hermana pequeña de Nico, Fiona. Tres décadas después, Fiona está en París, tratando de localizar a su hija, que hace años le dio la espalda y desapareció. Hospedada en la casa de un amigo de los viejos tiempos, Fiona aún lidia con las devastadoras secuelas que aquella época terrible tuvo para su vida y la relación con su hija. Entrelazando las historias de Yale y Fiona, Rebecca Makkai nos ofrece una formidable novela que reflexiona sobre la enfermedad y la muerte, pero ante todo sobre el poder de la vida, el amor y la amistad. Los optimistas recrea con fidelidad el día a día de la comunidad gay en los ochenta, la paradójica atmósfera de vitalidad y esperanza por las libertades ganadas, y de incertidumbre y miedo en una época en la que un test positivo equivalía a una sentencia de muerte. Brutal y emotiva, esta novela retrata con gran humanidad a unos seres optimistas que incluso en medio del más pavoroso desastre continúan creyendo en la bondad.
