"Not many first-time novelists get a profile in the New York Times. Then again, few first-time novelists come with the backstory of an Anna Williams-Bonner: recent bride of a wildly successful novelist who took his own life even as his fame seemed on the ascent. As her own book climbs the bestseller list, it seems not all the attention is focused on Anna's literary merit. Threats begin arriving, hinting at a dark secret in Anna's past. With her reputation - and potentially her life - on the line, is there anything Anna won't do to protect herself?"

The Latecomer

"From the New York Times bestselling author of The Plot, Jean Hanff Korelitz's The Latecomer is a layered and immersive literary novel about three siblings, desperate to escape one another, and the upending of their family by the late arrival of a fourth. The Latecomer follows the story of the wealthy, New York City-based Oppenheimer family, from the first meeting of parents Salo and Johanna, under tragic circumstances, to their triplets born during the early days of IVF. As children, the three siblings - Harrison, Lewyn, and Sally - feel no strong familial bond and cannot wait to go their separate ways, even as their father becomes more distanced and their mother more desperate. When the triplets leave for college, Johanna, faced with being truly alone, makes the decision to add a fourth child to the family. What role will the 'latecomer' play in this fractured family? A complex novel that builds slowly and deliberately, The Latecomer touches on the topics of grief and guilt, generational trauma, privilege and race, traditions and religion, and family dynamics. It is a profound and witty family story from an accomplished author, known for the depth of her character studies, expertly woven storylines, and plot twists. “A marvellous story full of plot twists, intricacies, and depth. Perfect for fans of character-based novels such as those by Sally Rooney or Lauren Groff.” MEG WOLITZER, author of The Female Persuasion 'Jean Hanff Korelitz is an ambidextrous writer: not only can she write a tight and absorbing literary thriller like The Plot, but with The Latecomer she draws us in again, this time with her ease, grace and wit, in a satisfying novel that spans generations, lives, and fates.' Meg Wolitzer, The New York Times bestselling author of The Female Persuasion"

[Spanish] - La trama

"Cuando un joven escritor muere antes de completar su primera novela, su maestro, un novelista fracasado, decide continuar con la trama. El libro resultante es un éxito fenomenal. Pero, ¿y si alguien más lo sabe? Y si el impostor no puede averiguar con quién está lidiando, corre el riesgo de algo mucho peor que la pérdida de su carrera. Jacob Finch Bonner fue un joven y prometedor escritor cuya primera novela cosechó un éxito muy respetable. Pero a día de hoy enseña en un programa de escritura de tercera categoría y lucha por mantener la poca dignidad que le queda; no ha escrito, y mucho menos publicado nada decente en años. Cuando Evan Parker, su alumno más arrogante, le dice a Jake que no necesita de su ayuda para continuar con su novela porque considera que la trama de su libro en progreso es magnífica, Jake lo tacha como el típico narcisista aficionado. Pero entonces... escucha la trama. Jake regresa a la trayectoria descendente de su propia carrera y se prepara para la publicación de la primera novela de Evan Parker: pero eso nunca sucede. Jake descubre que su antiguo alumno ha muerto, presumiblemente sin haber completado su libro, y hace lo que cualquier escritor que se precie haría con una historia como esa: una historia que es absolutamente necesario contar. En unos pocos años, todas las predicciones de Evan Parker se han hecho realidad, pero Jake es el autor que disfruta del éxito. Es rico, famoso, elogiado y leído en todo el mundo. Pero en el apogeo de su gloriosa nueva vida, recibe un correo electrónico, la primera amenaza de una aterradora campaña anónima: eres un ladrón, dice el correo. Mientras Jake lucha por entender a su antagonista y ocultar la verdad a sus lectores y editores, comienza a aprender más sobre su difunto alumno, y lo que descubre le asombra y aterroriza. ¿Quién era Evan Parker y cómo se le ocurrió la idea de su 'apuesta segura' de una novela? ¿Cuál es la verdadera historia detrás de la trama y quién se la robó a quién? - Jean Hanff Korelitz es una autora best seller del New York Times de varias novelas que han sido llevadas al cine durante los últimos años, entre las que destasca You Should Have Known (que se emite en HBO en como The Undoing, protagonizada por Nicole Kidman, Hugh Grant y Donald Sutherland). Su empresa BOOKTHEWRITER alberga grupos de libros emergentes en los que pequeños grupos de lectores debaten sobre libros nuevos con sus autores. Vive en la ciudad de Nueva York con su esposo, el poeta irlandés Paul Muldoon."

The Plot

"Hailed as 'breathtakingly suspenseful,' Jean Hanff Korelitz’s The Plot is a propulsive listen about a story too good not to steal, and the writer who steals it. Jacob Finch Bonner was once a promising young novelist with a respectably published first book. Today, he’s teaching in a third-rate MFA program and struggling to maintain what’s left of his self-respect; he hasn’t written - let alone published - anything decent in years. When Evan Parker, his most arrogant student, announces he doesn’t need Jake’s help because the plot of his book in progress is a sure thing, Jake is prepared to dismiss the boast as typical amateur narcissism. But then...he hears the plot. Jake returns to the downward trajectory of his own career and braces himself for the supernova publication of Evan Parker’s first novel: But it never comes. When he discovers that his former student has died, presumably without ever completing his book, Jake does what any self-respecting writer would do with a story like that - a story that absolutely needs to be told. In a few short years, all of Evan Parker’s predictions have come true, but Jake is the author enjoying the wave. He is wealthy, famous, praised and read all over the world. But at the height of his glorious new life, an email arrives, the first salvo in a terrifying, anonymous campaign: You are a thief, it says. As Jake struggles to understand his antagonist and hide the truth from his readers and his publishers, he begins to learn more about his late student, and what he discovers both amazes and terrifies him. Who was Evan Parker, and how did he get the idea for his “sure thing” of a novel? What is the real story behind the plot, and who stole it from whom?"
