Mañana, y mañana, y mañana

On a frigid December day of his freshman year at Harvard, Sam Masur steps out of a subway car and sees Sadie Green among the hordes of people waiting on the platform. He calls out to her. For a moment, she pretends she hasn't heard, but then she turns and the game is on: a legendary collaboration that will launch them both to stardom. They borrow money, favors and, before even graduating, sign their first blockbuster: Ichigo, a game in which one can escape the confines of the body and the betrayals of the heart, in which death means nothing more than an opportunity to restart and play again. This novel tells the story of the perfect worlds that Sam and Sadie build, the imperfect world in which they live, and everything that comes after success: money, fame, betrayal, tragedy. The plot extends over more than thirty years, going from Cambridge (Massachusetts) to Venice Beach (California), passing through intermediate lands and other worlds.
