Description

În agitatul şi aglomeratul New York există un spaţiu liniştit şi plin de farmec unde tînărul René, regizor aspirant, duce o viaţă plăcută şi liniştită. Asta pînă în ziua cînd în cartier se mută o familie ciudată, alcătuită din patru bărbaţi – un tată vîrstnic şi cei trei fii ai săi – ce folosesc nume romane ca să-şi ascundă originile şi trecutul. Cei patru Golden, Nero şi fiii săi, stîrnesc interesul viitorului cineast, căci această familie exorbitant de bogată ascunde taine uluitoare: legături vechi cu lumea interlopă din India, dezechilibre psihice, dezorientări sexuale. În scenă intră şi o rusoaică superbă, o vînătoare de avere ce-l cucereşte pe bătrînul Nero Golden, manipulîndu-i pe toţi cei din jur, inclusiv pe naratorul René. Casa Golden este un tur de forţă narativ, un roman cosmopolit, un roman al globalizării în decor newyorkez, un roman despre identitate şi destin.„De la împăratul Nero la Obama, prin Naşul… Acest veteran al romanului combină istoria şi miturile Antichităţii cu afacerile murdare, cultura populară şi tehnicile cinematografice pentru a crea o istorie de moravuri a zilelor noastre.” (The Guardian) „Din cînd în cînd ai ocazia să dai peste o carte care te captivează, îţi spune o poveste plină de farmec şi te face să te minunezi cum a născocit autorul aşa ceva. Casa Golden este o astfel de carte... Abordează o serie întreagă de adevăruri universale şi, în acelaşi timp, se dovedeşte absolut originală.” (The Associated Press)
