«Crucero de verano» is the novel by Truman Capote, published by Editorial Anagrama in hardcover (160 pages, in Spanish).
Grady McNeil is seventeen years old and convinces her parents to let her stay alone in the Central Park apartment while they go on a summer cruise. In secret she is in love with Clyde Manzer, a young Jewish man, a World War II veteran of low social class who works at the parking garage where she keeps her car. Over the course of the summer, the holiday idyll becomes more serious and ambiguous, facing social and cultural barriers in the New York of the 1940s. The novel, rescued from a box of papers auctioned at Sotheby's in 2004, was worked on by Capote for a decade from 1943.
The book belongs to the «Panorama de narrativas» collection from Anagrama, number 630, and was published on March 1, 2006.
Recommended for readers of literary fiction and Capote followers interested in an unpublished work rescued from his papers.
