About this audiobook
Winner of the 2009 Tony Award®, God of Carnage is a brash and hilarious exploration of human nature.
After one 11-year-old is hit by another, their parents meet to find a mature resolution. As the evening wears on, the veneer of civility degenerates. What begins as protective parenting ends as an excuse to let loose the primordial beast buried in each of us.

Yasmina Reza
Yasmina Reza nació en París. Su padre, nacido en Moscú, descendiente de una familia judía expulsa - da de España por la Inquisición y que se refugió en Uzbekistán, y su madre, violinista, de una familia de judíos húngaros, se conocieron en París. Ha recibido los más prestigiosos galardones por sus obras teatrales (como el Molière, el Laurence Olivier, el Theater Houte y el Tony), entre las que destaca Arte, publicada en esta colección. De su obra narrativa hemos editado Una desolación: «Pocas veces existen tantas razones para recomendar una novela como en este caso» (María Bengoa, El Correo); Hammerklavier: «Una colección de relatos –de carácter autobiográfico– hermosamente perturbadores. Un exquisito manjar digno de paladares exigentes» (Lola Beccaria, ABC); En el trineo de Schopenhauer: «Un excelente libro compacto, que se lee de un tirón, y que a pesar de su divertida crítica sobre el empeño de ofrecer un sentido a la vida, nos transmite una conmovedora melancolía» (Jacinta Cremades, El Cultural); Felices los felices: «Acción y pensamiento, nervio y sentido del humor, es breve, pero te deja ver un mundo muy amplio, casi inabarcable... Reza es lúcida, divertida y cruel, pero sobre todo humanista» (Carlos Zanón, El País) y Babilonia: «A medio camino entre una trama de los Coen y el mejor libreto de Woody Allen, nos regala un “polar” divertido, tierno, profundo y patético sobre la vida del común de los mortales» (Ángeles López, La Razón). También la crónica El alba la tarde o la noche: «Tienes una obra maestra al alcance de la mano. Esto supone una rareza absoluta y debieras aprovechar la oportunidad» (Arcadi Espada, El Mundo).

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I couldn't finish it was all too unconnected . The acting was great.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I think this story has it's funny moments. I really enjoyed listening to it. Plus if you wanna see a performance of it, you can watch a full performance on YouTube (but not of this version of course).
