Scándalo (1986) es una novela que revela, de manera lúcida y despiadada, los miedos y obsesiones de un escritor que ha alcanzado una edad avanzada, explorando la frágil frontera que separa el estudio de los gestos violentos y depravados de su comisión efectiva. A los sesenta y cinco años, Suguro es apreciado por lectores, críticos y colegas, aunque hay voces que ironizan su rigor moral y reticencia respecto a los problemas sexuales. Todo parece indicar que lo espera una vejez tranquila junto a su esposa, pero este escenario se desmorona en el momento en que una mujer lo acusa de que la vida que lleva contradice flagrantemente las premisas sobre las que se fundamentan sus escritos, denunciándolo como un cliente asiduo de burdeles y sex-shops en Tokio. Suguro, amenazado por un periodista vengativo con desatar un verdadero escándalo en la prensa, se ve obligado a desentrañar el misterio de esta acusación y descubre así la existencia de un doble suyo, un "gemelo maligno" con inclinaciones sadomasoquistas. Con su inigualable maestría, Endo nos ofrece en Scándalo una meditación sutil sobre la identidad, el arte y el mal.
#1 New York Times Bestselling author - Surrender to fiction's greatest creature of the night - Book II of the Vampire Chronicles The vampire hero of Anne Rice’s enthralling novel is a creature of the darkest and richest imagination.

His is a mesmerizing story—passionate, complex, and thrilling. Praise for The Vampire Lestat “Frightening, sensual . . . Anne Rice will live on through the ages of literature. . . .
