Reseñas editoriales
Resumen del Editor
FINALIST FOR THE PULITZER PRIZE • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A bewitching story collection from a writer hailed as “the most darkly playful voice in American fiction” (Michael Chabon) and “a national treasure” (Neil Gaiman).
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY BookPage • BuzzFeed • Chicago Tribune • Kirkus Reviews • NPR • San Francisco Chronicle • Slate • Time • Toronto Star • The Washington Post
Kelly Link has won an ardent following for her ability, with each new short story, to take readers deeply into an unforgettable, brilliantly constructed fictional universe. The nine exquisite examples in this collection show her in full command of her formidable powers. In “The Summer People,” a young girl in rural North Carolina serves as uneasy caretaker to the mysterious, never-quite-glimpsed visitors who inhabit the cottage behind her house. In “I Can See Right Through You,” a middle-aged movie star makes a disturbing trip to the Florida swamp where his former on- and off-screen love interest is shooting a ghost-hunting reality show. In “The New Boyfriend,” a suburban slumber party takes an unusual turn, and a teenage friendship is tested, when the spoiled birthday girl opens her big present: a life-size animated doll.
Hurricanes, astronauts, evil twins, bootleggers, Ouija boards, iguanas, The Wizard of Oz, superheroes, the Pyramids . . . These are just some of the talismans of an imagination as capacious and as full of wonder as that of any writer today. But as fantastical as these stories can be, they are always grounded by sly humor and an innate generosity of feeling for the frailty—and the hidden strengths—of human beings. In Get in Trouble, this one-of-a-kind talent expands the boundaries of what short fiction can do.

Praise for Get in Trouble
“Ridiculously brilliant . . . These stories make you laugh while staring into the void.”—The Boston Globe
“When it comes to literary magic, Link is the real deal: clever, surprising, affecting, fluid and funny.”—San Francisco Chronicle
Reseñas de la Crítica
“Welcome to the fabulous mind of Kelly Link. . . . It has taken Link ten years to produce her new story collection, Get in Trouble, and it is just as brilliant as her last.”—The New York Times Book Review (Editor’s Choice)
“Marvelous . . . As a writer Kelly Link is possessed of many magical powers, but to me what’s most notable about her new collection, Get in Trouble, is its astonishing freedom. . . . Link knows there’s nothing she’s ‘supposed’ to do; her imaginative freedom is unmitigated by a need to counterbalance the weirdness with explanation.”—Meg Wolitzer, NPR
“Smashing . . . sensational . . . Each of these stories presents the reader with the same setup: Remain in your narrative comfort zone, or venture into Link’s uncharted sea of troubles. Come on. Live a little.”—O: The Oprah Magazine

Told in her audacious voice, made vivid and immediate in her lyrical language, Chelsea Girls cobbles together memories of Myles's 1960s Catholic upbringing with an alcoholic father, her volatile adolescence, her unabashed "lesbianity," and her riotous pursuit of survival as a poet in 1970s New York.

One summer day, Margaux Fragoso meets Peter Curran at the neighborhood swimming pool, and they begin to play. She is seven; he is 51. When Peter invites her and her mother to his house, the little girl finds a child’s paradise of exotic pets and an elaborate backyard garden. Her mother, beset by mental illness and overwhelmed by caring for Margaux, is grateful for the attention Peter lavishes on her, and he creates an imaginative universe for her, much as Lewis Carroll did for his real-life Alice.

Historia
Fourteen-year-old Stark McClellan (nicknamed Stick because he’s tall and thin) is bullied for being "deformed" - he was born with only one ear. His older brother, Bosten, is always there to defend Stick. But the boys can’t defend each other from their abusive parents. When Stick realizes Bosten is gay, he knows that to survive his father's anger, Bosten must leave home. Stick has to find his brother, or he will never feel whole again. In his search, he will encounter good people, bad people, and people who are simply indifferent to kids from the wrong side of the tracks. But he never loses hope of finding love - and his brother.

By the time Wendy Lawless turned 17, she'd known for quite some time that she didn't have a normal mother. But that didn't stop her from wanting one.... Georgann Rea didn't bake cookies or go to PTA meetings; she wore a mink coat and always had a lit Dunhill plugged into her cigarette holder. She went through men like Kleenex, and didn't like dogs or children. Georgann had the ice queen beauty of a Hitchcock heroine and the cold heart to match.

Everything about 15-year-old Cat's new town in rural Michigan is lonely and off-kilter until she meets her neighbor, the manic, beautiful, pill-popping Marlena. Cat, inexperienced and desperate for connection, is quickly lured into Marlena's orbit by little more than an arched eyebrow and a shake of white-blond hair. As the two girls turn the untamed landscape of their desolate small town into a kind of playground, Cat catalogues a litany of firsts - first drink, first cigarette, first kiss - while Marlena's habits harden and calcify.

Now all Charles wants is to get his kids safely stowed away so that he can go to China and attempt to reclaim his family's ancestral lands - and his pride. Outrageously funny and full of charm, The Wangs vs. the World is an entirely fresh look at what it means to belong in America - and how going from glorious riches to (still name-brand) rags brings one family together in a way money never could.

Finding seeds of inspiration in the Brothers Grimm, seventeenth-century French lore, and Scottish ballads, Kelly Link spins classic fairy tales into utterly original stories of seekers—characters on the hunt for love, connection, revenge, or their own sense of purpose. Twisting and winding in astonishing ways, expertly blending realism and the speculative, witty, empathetic, and never predictable—these stories remind us once again of why Kelly Link is incomparable in the art of short fiction.

Historia
The Bigtree alligator-wrestling dynasty is in decline, and Swamplandia!, their island home and gator-wrestling theme park, formerly number one in the region, is swiftly being encroached upon by a fearsome and sophisticated competitor called the World of Darkness. Ava’s mother, the park’s indomitable headliner, has just died; her sister, Ossie, has fallen in love with a spooky character known as the Dredgeman, who may or may not be an actual ghost; and her brilliant big brother, Kiwi, who dreams of becoming a scholar, has just defected to the World of Darkness.

Historia
In a secret, subterranean world beneath the prairie of the Old West, a homesteader risks her life in search of a safe haven. A workman in Andrew Carnegie's steel mills is turned into a medical oddity by the brutal power of the furnaces. A young woman created through genetic manipulation is destroyed by the same force that gave her life. With her distinctive blend of magical realism, science, and poetic prose, Anjali Sachdeva demonstrates a preternatural ability to laser in on our fears, our hopes, and our longings in order to point out intrinsic truths about society and humanity.

Historia
In the 12 unforgettable tales of Lesser Known Monsters of the 21st Century, the strange is made familiar and the familiar strange, such that a girl growing wings on her legs feels like an ordinary rite of passage, while a bug-infested house becomes an impossible Kafkaesque nightmare. Each story builds a new world all its own: A group of children steal a haunted doll; a runaway bride encounters a sea monster; a vendor sells toy boxes that seemingly control the passage of time; an insomniac is seduced by the Sandman.

Historia
Finding seeds of inspiration in the Brothers Grimm, seventeenth-century French lore, and Scottish ballads, Kelly Link spins classic fairy tales into utterly original stories of seekers—characters on the hunt for love, connection, revenge, or their own sense of purpose. Twisting and winding in astonishing ways, expertly blending realism and the speculative, witty, empathetic, and never predictable—these stories remind us once again of why Kelly Link is incomparable in the art of short fiction.

Great stories, wildly uneven narrator quality
What did you love best about Get in Trouble?
The stories are imaginative, clever, and captivating.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Immy in The New Boyfriend. Relatable, believable as a teenage girl.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of the narrators?
Complicated question. A few of the narrators were terrific. Some were fine. Some were really, really terrible. I only want to replace the terrible ones.

Clever, Surreal, Stylized
The stories are clever and at times hilarious, especially if you imagine sentences taken out of context. The multiple narrators (one for each story) have very distinctive voices, which in some but not all cases serve the story well. If you like stylized stories and narration with a tilt to the surreal, you'll enjoy the book, as I did.

Slow to start
It was really Boring. Wasn’t what I had expected. I guess I could exchange for a better one. Hopefully.

Lovely collection
Fantastic, only reason it’s not 5 stars is because I don’t like questions left unanswered or stories feeling incomplete.

Get in Trouble - Confusing Fictional Narratives
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Get in Trouble was not the best use of my Audible credit... here is why:
What was most disappointing about Kelly Link’s story?
Some of the short stories seemed to pick up out of no where and end in the middle of something,never really getting to a solid point. Because I listened to rather than read the stories, I often got lost or confused in the narratives (explained below) and was not entirely sure what was going on. There were a couple of stories that dealt with some very interesting topics--like the one with the drowned baby-- and some which had some humor--like the vampire/dentist convention one. Overall, the stories seemed to have potential, but they were introduced and concluded too quickly, with some random and strange topics I did not find completely relatable.
What about the narrators’s performance did you like?
There were multiple narrators, some of them seemed a little too monotone in their narration (which caused me to lose focus and ended up in my getting lost in the story) while other seemed to give the story appropriate dimension.

Review from the New Yorker wasn’t wrong
This is an amazing writer. Will be exploring more by this author. Also- I am over 40 years old.

Very entertaining
Loved these short stories. Dark, whimsical and very entertaining. Definitely will listen again in the future. Only down side is- I wish that all of these stories where full novels.

Skilled Writing, Empty Lives
Want to read about empty lives with SF sauce? Need a book to make you feel like the world will continue to be empty regardless of the trappings? Maybe she's got her finger on the Geiskeit; I can't decide, but I hope she doesn't. There's something wrong with our ideas about what makes for good literary fiction when this? this? is considered for a major prize. The combination of workmanlike skill and invention here is formidable, but the characters she writes are so shallow it makes me resent her intrusion into my life. The SF aspects of the stories seemed almost irrelevant. You can write literary fiction about empty people, but if you don't have something...a warning or sufficient wit or depth or contrast or an implication or even pure stylistic skill...? Whatever it is, this lacks it. I love good short stories. I love SF. I love literary fiction. This wears the right clothes, but there's nobody I want to know inside them. It's like music played well that I simply do not like. I suspect she's the product of a strong academic writing program, but I haven't looked. I hope she finds her way to a better book later in her life - but this one isn't it, though she seems to have connections. (The narrators were generally good though often sounded depressed.)

avoid this if you are over 40 years old
I kept trying to find a way to like this but this was not written or narrated for people over 40 years old. I had the same reaction to this book as to video games, molly and vaping: disgusted befuddlement.
