Synopsis of A Brief History of Seven Killings

En "Una breve historia de siete asesinatos", Marlon James combina una narrativa magistral con su habilidad inigualable en la caracterización y su meticuloso ojo para el detalle para forjar una novela de ambición y alcance deslumbrantes. El 3 de diciembre de 1976, justo antes de las elecciones generales de Jamaica y dos días antes de que Bob Marley tocara en el Smile Jamaica Concert para aliviar las tensiones políticas en Kingston, siete pistoleros no identificados irrumpieron en la casa del cantante, con ametralladoras en llamas. El ataque hirió a Marley, a su esposa y a su manager, e hirió a varios otros. Poco se publicó oficialmente sobre los pistoleros, pero abundaban los rumores sobre el destino de los asesinos. "Una breve historia de siete asesinatos" es la exploración ficticia de James de ese tiempo peligroso e inestable en la historia de Jamaica y más allá. Abarcando hábilmente décadas y continentes y poblada con una amplia gama de personajes (asesinos, traficantes de drogas, periodistas e incluso fantasmas), James da vida a las personas que caminaron por las calles de Kingston en la década de 1970, que dominaron las casas de crack de la década de 1980 en Nueva York y que resurgieron en una Jamaica radicalmente alterada de la década de 1990.
