Críticas:
"Jim Shepard [is] an outrageously versatile and gifted fiction writer." --The Washington Post "[Shepard's] stories come bearing enough unimpeachable detail to ensure they never sink into the mush of a half-baked world. . . . [His] approach gives the individual stories heft and [his] collections a dizzying range." --The New York Times Book Review
"Arresting. . . . [Shepard] has a knack for compressing a novel's worth of life into 30 or 40 pages." --The Boston Globe "An astonishingly powerful demonstration of fiction's capacity to transport us across time and space. . . . An absolute pleasure to read." --The Christian Science Monitor "Stirring. . . . The title story . . . left me weeping." --Polly Rosenwaike, San Francisco Chronicle

In The World to Come, Jim Shepard (“Without a doubt the most ambitious story writer in America” —The Daily Beast) traverses both borders and centuries. Seamlessly inhabiting a multitude of disparate men and women, he gives voice to visionaries, pioneers, and secret misfits, from nineteenth-century explorers departing on one of the Arctic’s most nightmarish expeditions to twentieth-century American military wives maintaining hope at home. Shepard’s characters confront everything from the emotional pitfalls of everyday life to colossal catastrophes, battling natural forces, the hazards of new technology, and their own implacable shortcomings. Bursting with wicked humor and driven by an incomparable understanding of what it means to be human, The World to Come is the work of a true virtuoso.
