Con giros divertidos, románticos, eróticos y tristes, esta provocativa novela plasma de manera brillante el panorama de la adolescencia tardía, cuando las amistades parecen eternas y los amores reencarnan. Ambientada en Arkansas, pero publicada originalmente en Ámsterdam bajo el nombre Clicking Beat on the Brink of Nada, Cody ganó con rapidez el aprecio de los críticos y lectores de Europa y Norteamérica, y se mantuvo en las listas de los libros más vendidos de temática LGBT durante trece años. Tan hermosa, valiente y adelantada a su tiempo que William S. Burroughs fue uno de los primeros fanáticos, Cody se mantiene notablemente vigente, y sigue siendo una novela única en el género bildungsroman (novela de formacion).Una visión encantadora de una amistad juvenil destruida por un mundo increíblemente cruel. La novela rebosa con los primeros amores de los adolescentes. Es tierna, divertida y real.- William S. Burroughs, autor de Naked LunchEvoca mucho de la honestidad, intimidad y facilidad de estilo de J.R. Ackerley. Realmente encantadora.- Jonathan Williams, MusingsEl sentido de la vida, la búsqueda de identidad, la militancia intelectual, la ambigüedad de las relaciones humanas, el deseo insatisfecho, y las debilidades a la hora de enfrentar la propia existencia son solo algunas de las facetas de la vida que el autor evoca con exactitud en esta novela.- Livres (Brussels)Cody es imprescindible.- RFD (Asheville, NC)Evoca poéticamente los sentimientos de las primeras amistades y la fragilidad de los sueños adolescentes.- The AdvocateEl autor ha creado en su novela personajes con ternura, ingenio y humanidad. Debes apurarte y comprar este libro; una destacable novela que merece una amplia difusión.- Bay Area Reporter (San Francisco)Lo mejor que encontrarás en ficción gay.- Gay Community News (Boston)El mensaje trasciende más allá de la simple realidad. [...] El autor nos muestra el triunfo de la esencia por encima de la apariencia, de las verdades eternas que trascienden por encima de las relaciones físicas. Sus personajes irradian calor y franqueza por igual.- This Week in Texas (Houston)Considerada una de las mejores de su generación, esta novela está bellamente escrita, es emocionante (y sexy), y llena de sucesos y encanto. Incluso los personajes secundarios son tratados con un toque dickensiano.- Gay Star (Belfast)Una novela sobre la individualidad y el derecho a ser lo que sea que quieras ser. [...] Este libro debe ser leído por niños y adultos por igual [...] Un clásico de la homosexualidad adolescente.- Lambda Rising Book Report (D.C.)El verdadero logro de esta novela es la manera en que retrata el amor adolescente. Este crítico no pude pensar en otra novela reciente que lo haya hecho mejor... Un logro considerable.- English Language Book Review (Amsterdam)Evoca el dolor, las intensas emociones, y la exclusividad de la adolescencia. Merece una amplia audiencia.- Voice of Youth Advocates (Virginia Beach) Watersgreen House is an independent international book publisher with editorial staff in the UK and USA.
