About this ebook
Trude es una ciudad imaginaria situada en ese territorio difuso que ocupa el centro de los Estados Unidos. Es una ciudad programada desde su fundación, cuidadosamente planificada por un arquitecto de origen centroeuropeo que quiso dejar su impronta en la planificación de la población. Trude cuenta con biblioteca, teatro de la ópera, secta cristiana propia y un alcalde empeñado en acabar con los libros y la lectura. La ciudad, que se está descomponiendo por culpa de la crisis económica, la delincuencia y el fanatismo, vive la desaparición de una mezzosoprano que durante años ha sido la estrella de su ópera. Este incidente nos aboca a un falso thriller donde nada es lo que parece. Con este libro Lundgren se sitúa entre los narradores norteamericanos más interesantes de la actualidad.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Not a comfortable read. Throughout there is a dreamlike unreal quality, and a sense of disconnected-ness, hopping from one surreal circumstance to the next. The analogy that kept reoccurring was the Bruce Willis character in "The Sixth Sense", where everyone and everything seems a little... off.
People drift in and out of the narrator's life, usually with unclear motives for their actions. Detectives who provide mysterious, misleading and fictitious clues on the disappearance of the narrator's wife, a bizarre spiral-shaped shipping mall seemingly designed to be unusable, everything in various states of ruin and decay... There are metaphors all over the place. A sad and, as I mentioned, uncomfortable little novel. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A very hard book to pinpoint or place into any known genre. There is a city called Trude, once known as the Munich of the Midwest, now known as a good place to commit suicide. A city that has decaying mansions, broken down buildings and an authoritarian mayor bent on destroying the towns library. Its beleaguered starring man is Sven, whose wife Molly has disappeared. He wants only to find her and finds clues everywhere but inside himself. In a little over two hundred pages this book includes a assisted living center called Traumhaus, where one must apply to be admitted. Where scrabble games are a spectator sport and where a group of residents called "The Pinkies", yes they wear pink bathrobes and slippers, are the envy of the other residents. There are gun toting librarians in ski masks manning a reference desk that most are afraid to approach.They are called the Trude 13, they sleep in the library, and refuse to leave because the mayor wants to blow up the building. It is important to note that the author works at a public library in St. Louis. Of course everyone thinks the mayor is upset with the library because he returned a waterlogged romance book (of course it was that way when he checked it out) and had to pay for the book. Sven and his son are left to themselves, a job Sven is not up to. Of course there is a church ready to step in. What would a decrepit town be without a church preparing themselves for the second coming. Anyway there is so much more and I have to admit I really enjoyed reading this. For a first novel it is very good. The meaning, well that I think will change for each person that reads this. There are many different ways to go. Of course there is always the possibility that one many not find any meaning, but they will have a great time getting there.
