The love story of a man, Maxon, who uses pseudocode to define his verbal and emotional responses to the world and his wife, Sunny, born with complete alopecia in Burma. The real heart of the novel is the tension between Sunny's desire to fit in with the world as it is, and hide her baldness, as a metaphor for the things that make us different from others, coming to terms with wanting to be the hero of a world of one's own making, with those who are different from us being the outsiders. The writing is gorgeous. The story beneath the story, of Maxon going to help colonize the moon is interesting and numerous backstories flesh out both characters as full, flawed people, not just subject to the plot. Sunny, Maxon y su hijo de cuatro años, Bubber, forman la familia perfecta en un aparentemente perfecto barrio residencial. Cuando Maxon, un cientÃfico brillante, se embarca en una misión espacial para colonizar la luna, Sunny se ve desbordada por sus problemas: su madre está muy enferma en el hospital, Bubber es autista y recibe, a pesar de los remordimientos de Sunny, una medicación muy agresiva, y está a punto de dar a luz a susegundo hijo. Además es calva, nació sin un solo pelo en el cuerpo. Cuando pierde su peluca en un accidente de coche y expone su verdadero aspecto ante los vecinos, por primera vez se pregunta: ¿y si fuera capaz de mostrarme tal como soy? Esta aparentemente estrafalaria mezcla de ingredientes se convierte en una historia universal sobre la familia, el amor y el valor de ser uno mismo, narrada con una ternura extraordinaria. This book is about a bald woman, who has been dearly loved her whole life. This book is about being an unusual child, and about being a parent of an unusual child. This book is about living in normal house in a normal suburb with normal neighbors, who are not normal. This book is about love. This book is about numbers, and formulas, and robots. This book is about stretching out blissfully naked in the sun on a large, comfortable rock. This book is about loss, and about heartbreak, and about resilience. This book is about a rocket ship to the moon. sem crÃticas | adicionar uma crÃtica
