Synopsis "La Celda de Cristal (in Spanish)"

Falsamente acusado de fraude, el tranquilo e ingenuo Philip Carter es condenado a seis solitarios años de prisión, durante los cuales cae en un consumo destructivo de drogas. Cuando finalmente obtiene la libertad, ha cambiado por completo: se ha vuelto desconfiado, irritable y violento. Para quienes lo rodean, recuperar su confianza puede marcar la diferencia entre la vida y la muerte.

La celda de cristal ofrece un retrato crudo, sombrío y profundamente persuasivo de la vida cotidiana en prisión, así como de las devastadoras consecuencias que deja en quienes la padecen. Una obra cuya fuerza y vigencia siguen intactas desde su publicación original en 1964.

She was born in Fort Worth, Texas, in 1921, but moved to New York when she was six years old. By the age of sixteen, she became a writer. She was known for being a solitary person. She moved to Europe in 1963 and spent her last years in a secluded house near Locarno, on the border between Switzerland and Italy. Upon her death, she left three million dollars from her estate to Yaddo, the artists' community in upstate New York. Her first novel Strangers on a Train, was turned into a famous movie by Alfred Hitchcock in 1951. Her last novel Small g: A Summer Idyll was published posthumously just over a month later.
