El besugo me da hipo y otras historias es el debut narrativo de Jesse Eisenberg, una obra que confirma al actor americano como una voz literaria emergente. Un compendio de relatos que anuncia la llegada de un narrador ironico, agudo y original. Compuesto por veintiocho historias, El besugo me da hipo y otras historias trata con humor hilarante de los pequenos dramas de la vida cotidiana de diferentes personajes, desde un nino de 9 anos hijo de padres divorciados a un Alexander Graham Bell sumido en cuitas amorosas y victima de los problemas derivados de la (in)comunicacion telefonica.
Un auca o aleluya moderna, un compendio humoristico de las pequenas y grandes neurosis que acechan a los individuos de la sociedad contemporanea narrados con lengua afilada e inteligencia despierta.

Los personajes de Eisenberg estan vivos y su conocimiento de las neurosis universales (de usted y de el) demuestra que es mucho mas que un aficionado.

La nerviosa energia [de Eisenberg] en la pantalla se filtra en las paginas de este libro.

La fuerza de Eisenberg reside en el dialogo y el monologo y en escribir personajes miserables que, alternativamente, cautivan y repelen.
Entertainment Weekly
Eisenberg is truly a talented writer. . . Hilarious and poignant.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Bream Gives Me Hiccups: And Other Stories is the whip-smart fiction debut of Academy Award-nominated actor Jesse Eisenberg. Known for his iconic film roles but also for his regular pieces in the New Yorker and his two critically acclaimed plays, Eisenberg is an emerging literary voice.
Taking its title from a group of stories that begin the book, Bream Gives Me Hiccups moves from contemporary L.A. to the dorm rooms of an American college to ancient Pompeii, throwing the reader into a universe of social misfits, reimagined scenes from history, and ridiculous overreactions. In one piece, a tense email exchange between a young man and his girlfriend is taken over by his sister, who is obsessed with the Bosnian genocide (The situation reminds me of a little historical blip called the Karadordevo agreement); in another, a college freshman forced to live with a roommate is stunned when one of her ramen packets goes missing (she didn't have "one" of my ramens. She had a chicken ramen); in another piece, Alexander Graham Bell has teething problems with his invention (I've been calling Mabel all day, she doesn't pick up! Yes, of course I dialed the right number - 2!)
United by Eisenberg's gift for humor and character, and grouped into chapters that open with illustrations by award-winning cartoonist Jean Jullien, the witty pieces collected in Bream Gives Me Hiccups explore the various insanities of the modern world, and mark the arrival of a fantastically funny, self-ironic, and original voice.
