About this listen
"Él, que había caminado media vida en el puro filo de una navaja, identificó ya en su niño la irremediable vocación al extravío".
La explosión de una bomba y la desaparición de un niño trenzarán de manera ineludible el drama de los protagonistas de El vacío en el que flotas, y entonces seremos testigos—en este juego de ficciones en el que una historia parece desarrollarse dentro de otra, como en un set de muñecas rusas—de tres relatos que comparten un mismo personaje. En el primero, una joven pareja pierde a su hijo pequeño en un atentado terrorista: la madre sobrevive, pero del niño no queda ningún rastro. En el segundo, un joven y desconocido escritor gana un importante premio literario: ahora disfruta y padece la fama lejos del hombre que lo crio, un ser enigmático pero lleno de compasión y ternura, una especie de artista de la noche que, ataviado de mujer, siempre aspiró a dedicarse a cantar en su propio cabaré. Y en el tercero, aquel hombre que se rebusca la vida, y a veces se viste de mujer, de repente llega a su pensión con un niño perdido: explica que los padres del pequeño murieron en un accidente y que él debe cuidarlo, pues es su única familia. Así, las tres historias se van entrecruzando, emergiendo unas de otras, para provocar una lectura intensa e intrigante que se pregunta por aquellos que nos dejan con el peso de su ausencia.
"Este es uno de los autores colombianos a quien me gustaría pasarle la antorcha".
Gabriel García Márquez
Sobre el autor y su obra se ha dicho:
"Una vez más, Jorge Franco nos sumerge en la Colombia profunda. Como pocos, sabe captar momentos de la historia de su país y con maestría los vincula a historias personales. Jorge demuestra ser un gran narrador y es, sin duda, uno de mis autores favoritos".
Guillermo Arriaga, sobre El cielo a tiros
"Un tema fascinante, que se prestaba para el morbo o el sensacionalismo, pero que Jorge Franco trata con una limpieza literaria impresionante. Es un libro duro, pero natural y fresco. Escrito en un ritmo ascendente, que no decae un minuto".
Enrique Santos Calderón, en El Tiempo, sobre Rosario Tijeras
"Paraíso Travel es una novela con su propia clase de magia".
The New York Times
"Melodrama es, por encima de todas sus virtudes, que son múltiples, la admirable declaración de un hombre que sabe que el éxito no puede ser un propósito en la vida, ni es una meta, y si acaso será un pedazo del trayecto. Franco rompió con su pasado a pesar de los triunfos estruendosos de Rosario Tijerasy de Paraíso Travel, para buscarse a sí mismo, explorando nuevos caminos, tanteando en la oscuridad como seguramente lo hacía Borges con su bastón en alto".
Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

Story
My fiancé brought me tea and scrambled eggs in bed that morning, and we snuggled together, talking about buying our rings, and about our perfect wedding next year. Then we headed into town. He held my hand and gazed at the ring I liked best, a smile spreading slowly over his face. Then a glass of bubbly to celebrate. I felt flushed, excited and ready for the rest of my life with the man I loved. We race to get on the train home. It screams to a halt and I run towards its open doors. Made it. I think he’s right behind me — but when I turn around, he’s gone.

Story
When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.

Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

But now that he’s in the thick of it, trying to get through combat training harder than anything he could have imagined, he knows everyone in his unit is one bad move away from buying the farm in the interstellar war the Terran Federation is waging against the Arachnids. Because everyone in the Mobile Infantry fights. And if the training doesn’t kill you, the Bugs are more than ready to finish the job.

Excelente historia, impecablemente narrada.
Excelente historia. Impecablemente narrada, completamente visual y redonda. Sus personajes sólidos, sensibles y bellamente humanos. Me recordó a los personajes Pedro Almodovar. Señor Franco, gracias por otra gran novela! El Mundo de Afuera también esta entre mis favoritas.

Tedioso y sórdido, increíble que alguien haya publicado este libro.
Cada capítulo es la repetición del anterior o es un plagio del anterior
