Действие «Голоса крови» происходит в Майами — городе, где «все ненавидят друг друга». Однако, по меткому замечанию рецензента «Нью-Йоркера», эта книга в той же степени о Майами, в какой «Мертвые души» — о России. Действительно, «Голос крови» — прежде всего роман о нравах и характерах, это «Человеческая комедия», действие которой перенесено в современную Америку. Роман вышел сравнительно недавно, но о нем уже ведутся ожесточенные споры: кому-то он кажется вершиной творчества Вулфа, кто-то обвиняет его в недостаточной объективности, пристрастности и даже чрезмерной развлекательности.

As the police boat speeds across Miami’s Biscayne Bay, the scene is set for Officer Nestor Camacho’s great moment of heroism. Except that in this feverous melting pot of a city, Nestor's one act of heroism can be seen as an utter betrayal of his Cuban roots. As Nestor’s world disintegrates – his family disowns him, he can’t get a Cuban coffee without ugly stares, and his girlfriend Magdalena leaves him for her sex-addiction psychiatrist boss – his quest to right the wrongs brings him into contact with the full panorama of modern Miami. The Cuban mayor, a Yale-marinated journalist, the black police chief, a Haitian professor whose…

Das Fegefeuer der Eitelkeiten für das 21. Jahrhundert Clash of Cultures unter karibischer Sonne: eine brillante und bissige Satire auf den menschlichen Umgang mit gesellschaftlicher Realität. Die Freiheit ist nur 20 Meter entfernt für den kubanischen Flüchtling, der sich auf den Mast einer Luxusjacht vor Miami geflüchtet hat. Aber dann wird er vor den Augen von Millionen Fernsehzuschauern in einer spektakulären Aktion live verhaftet. Und das ausgerechnet vom netten Nestor, einem Polizisten mit kubanischen Wurzeln, der unter den chauvinistischen Sprüchen seiner weißen Vorgesetzten leidet. Die ganze Stadt ist in zwei Lager gespalten:…

Поклонники такого жанра с нетерпением ждали новинку, в которой искренне рассказано о современной жизни в Америке. Действие происходит в Майами, сюжет закручен вокруг иммиграции: жизнь, полная ненависти, жадности, страха и отчаяния. Главными героями стали кубинский мэр, чернокожий начальник полиции, концептуальные художники и русские гангстеры.

As a police launch speeds across Miami’s Biscayne Bay – with officer Nestor Camacho on board – Tom Wolfe is off and running. Into the feverous landscape of the city, he introduces the Cuban mayor, the black police chief, an ambitious young journalist and his Yale-marinated editor; a psychiatrist who specialises in sex addiction and his Latina nurse by day, mistress by night – until lately, the love of Nestor’s life; a refined, and oh-so-light-skinned young woman from Haiti and her Creole-spouting, black-gang-banger-stylin’ little brother; a billionaire porn addict, crack dealers in the ‘hoods, ‘de-skilled’ conceptual artists at the Miami Art…

As a police launch speeds across Miami's Biscayne Bay - with our hero, Officer Nestor Camacho, on board - Tom Wolfe is off and running headlong into the only city in the world where people from a different country with a different language and a different culture have taken over at the ballot box. This melting pot is full of hard cases who just won't melt: a Cuban mayor; a black police chief; a hot young reporter and a timid editor of the Miami Herald, both WASPs; an Anglo sex-addiction psychiatrist, his lovely Latina nurse, and his star patient, a porn-addicted billionaire; a status-addled Haitian professor who thinks he's really French and…
