Un brillante rayo de oscuridad
An invigorating meditation on fame and celebrity and the redemptive and healing power of art, a portrait of the ravages of disappointment and divorce, a poignant consideration of the rites of fatherhood and manhood, a novel steeped in rage and sex, longing and despair, and a passionate love letter to the world of theater, A Bright Ray of Darkness showcases Ethan Hawke's gifts as a novelist as never before. Hawke's narrator is a tormented young man, disgusted with himself after the failure of his marriage, still hoping for a reconciliation that would allow him to forgive himself and move on as he awkwardly, and sometimes hilariously, tries to manage the wreckage of his personal life with whiskey and sex. What saves him is the theater: in particular, the challenge of playing the role of Hotspur in a production of Henry IV under the leadership of a brilliant director, led by one of the most electrifying and narcissistic Falstaffs of all time. A Bright Ray of Darkness is a novel about shame, beauty and faith, and the moral power of art. A Bright Ray of Darkness" is the first book by actor, director and writer Ethan Hawke, a performer in cult films such as "Before Sunrise." In this work, Hawke shares with the reader his personal experience and his reflections on life, art and creativity.
