El peso del pasado es una novela del autor Colin Harrison. La historia sigue a Charlie Ravich, un ejecutivo cincuentón que vive en el Upper East Side y cuya familia se está extinguiendo. Su esposa sufre de Alzheimer, su hijo ha fallecido y su hija no puede tener hijos. Paralelamente, Christina Welles, una ex estudiante de la universidad de Columbia, es liberada de prisión tras una aventura con un miembro de una red de robos. La novela explora temas de pérdida, supervivencia y las complejidades de las relaciones humanas en un mundo agresivo y cambiante.
Colin Harrison is an American novelist and editor. Harrison is the author of eight novels: Break and Enter (1990), Bodies Electric (1993), Manhattan Nocturne (1996), Afterburn (2000), The Havana Room (2004), The Finder (2008), Risk (2009), which was first published as a fifteen-part serial in The New York Times magazine in 2008, and You Belong to Me, published in June 2017. His books have been published in a dozen countries and four have been selected as Notable Books by The New York Times Book Review. The Finder was a finalist for the 2009 Los Angeles Times Book Prize and the 2009 Dashiell Hammett Award. All are atmospheric novels of violence, sex, and suspense that explore the underside of city life, most particularly in New York. Although his novels invariably involve the money and power that is concentrated in Manhattan, his stories usually snake through the boroughs outside Manhattan as well, in particular through Brooklyn, which has served as a setting for scenes in Bodies Electric, Manhattan Nocturne, The Finder and Risk (Canarsie). A movie version of Manhattan Nocturne, directed and written by Brian DeCubellis and titled Manhattan Night, was released by Lionsgate in May 2016. The movie stars Adrien Brody, Yvonne Strahovski, Campbell Scott, Jennifer Beals, and others.
