Una vigorosa meditación sobre la fama y la celebridad, y el poder redentor y sanador del arte, un retrato de los estragos de la decepción y el divorcio, una novela impregnada de rabia y sexo, anhelo y desesperación, y una apasionada carta de amor al mundo del teatro. 'Un brillante rayo de oscuridad' muestra el enorme talento de Ethan Hawke como novelista. William Harding, aunque una estrella de Hollywood, es un joven atormentado, disgustado consigo mismo tras el fracaso de su matrimonio, esperando aún una reconciliación que le permita perdonarse, mientras torpemente trata de manejar los restos de su vida personal con whisky y sexo. Lo que lo salva es el teatro: en particular, el desafío de interpretar el papel de Hotspur en una producción de 'Enrique IV' a las órdenes de un director brillante, encabezada por uno de los Falstaff más electrizantes y narcisistas de todos los tiempos. Una obra sobre la vergüenza, la belleza, la fe y el poder moral del arte. En 'Un brillante rayo de oscuridad' el actor, director y escritor Ethan Hawke, intérprete de películas de culto como Antes de amanecer, ilustra cómo encontrar la pasión y el significado de nuestras vidas. Con una prosa sincera y valiente, no exenta de humor, Hawke revela al lector los entresijos del mundo de la interpretación, donde los oropeles y las limusinas se dan la mano con la ansiedad y el desgarro más devastadores.

William Harding, though a Hollywood star, is a tormented young man, disgusted with himself after the failure of his marriage, still waiting for a reconciliation that will allow him to forgive himself, while awkwardly, and sometimes hilariously, trying to manage the wreckage of his personal life with whiskey and sex. What saves him is the theater: in particular, the challenge of playing the role of Hotspur in a production of 'Henry IV' under the orders of a brilliant director, headed by one of the most electrifying - and narcissistic - Falstaffs of all time. A play about shame, beauty, faith and the moral power of art. In “A Bright Ray of Darkness” actor, director and writer Ethan Hawke, performer of cult films such as Before Sunrise, illustrates how to find passion and meaning in our lives. With sincere and courageous prose, not without humor, Hawke reveals to the reader the ins and outs of the acting world, where tinsel and limousines go hand in hand with the most devastating anxiety and heartbreak.
