New York is slipping from Cleo's grasp.Sure, she's at a different
party every other night, but she barely knows anyone. Her student
visa is running out, and she doesn't even have money for
cigarettes. But then she meets Frank.Twenty years older, Frank's
life is full of all the success and excess that Cleo's lacks. He
offers her the chance to be happy, the freedom to paint, and the
opportunity to apply for a green card. She offers him a life imbued
with beauty and art-and, hopefully, a reason to cut back on his
drinking.He is everything she needs right now. Cleo and Frank run
head-first into a romance that neither of them can quite keep up
with. It reshapes their lives and the lives of those around them,
whether that's Cleo's best friend struggling to embrace his gender
identity in the wake of her marriage, or Frank's financially
dependent sister arranging sugar daddy dates after being cut
off.Ultimately, this chance meeting between two strangers outside
of a New Year's Eve party changes everything, for better or worse.
Cleopatra and Frankenstein is an astounding and painfully relatable
debut novel about the spontaneous decisions that shape our entire
lives and those imperfect relationships born of unexpectedly
perfect evenings.

V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
