Premio Mauricio Acachar

«Un libro con una prosa cautivante, de ritmo hipnótico. El lado izquierdo del sol es una novela paciente, contemplativa, hermosa, cuyo lenguaje logra un retrato certero y fiel, a la vez que una ficción deslumbrante.» Fernanda Melchor, Alaíde Ventura, y Emiliano Monge, Jurados del Premio Mauricio Achar / Random House 2022.

Esta novela explora la compleja figura de Yukio Mishima, uno de los autores más fascinantes de la literatura japonesa. En 1957, a los treinta y dos años, Mishima hace un viaje a Nueva York y México para arrojarse al universo del turismo homosexual, pero también para aniquilar su pasado, el tiempo en el que escribió su primera novela y tuvo otro nombre: Hiraoka Kimitake.

El lado izquierdo del sol ilumina de igual forma ese pasado. Ahí se encuentran los instantes que van a determinar la existencia y el oficio de su protagonista. En las calles de Tokio, el joven Kimitake perfila sus ambiciones a la par que descubre el deseo. Su relación con Sito, un hibakusha, lo atormentará durante una década, hasta el presente del viaje.

Desde la clave de la novela de formación, Cristian Lagunas recrea la biografía privada de un personaje adicto a la belleza, obsesionado con destruirse y volverse a crear.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Winner, Mauricio Achar Prize

"A book possessed of a captivating prose and hypnotic rhythm. The Left Side of the Sun is a patient, contemplative, beautiful novel that is both an accurate and faithful portrait of a real person and a stunning work of fiction."-Fernanda Melchor, Alaíde Ventura and Emiliano Monge, Judging Panel, Mauricio Achar Prize / Random House 2022.

Cristian Lagunas examines the complex figure of Yukio Mishima, one of the most fascinating authors in the history of Japanese literature. In 1957, at the age of 32, Mishima traveled to New York City and Mexico to immerse himself in the world of gay tourism and escape a past, when he wrote his first novel and was known by a different name: Hiraoka Kimitake.

The Left Side of the Sun sheds light on that past and its impact on its protagonist's life and career. On the streets of Tokyo, the young Kimitake discovers both ambition and desire. His relationship with Sito, a hibakusha (a survivor of the atomic bombs dropped on Japan), torments him for a decade, providing the background for his current trip.

Writing in the style of a Bildungsroman, Lagunas recreates the private biography of a man addicted to beauty, obsessed with self-destruction, and desperate to reinvent himself.

2nd time purchasing this item. The 1st one lasted 2 years, but my boat hasn't been used a lot either. The marine mechanic who replaced it for me said it was definitely time to replace it. He said it fits and works just fine. Has good water flow. As for quality and value, I'd say decent. The price is better than an OMC OEM pump. I plan on using my boat more this year, so we'll see how it holds up. I'll get it replaced at the end of the year. Ease of installation, NOT EASY. The lower unit has to be completely removed from the outboard. Some outboard are easier than others and as old as this one is, it's probably easier than some of the newer ones. I've watched a couple of videos on YouTube on how to do it and I might try to do it myself next time. It cost $360 to have it done and that's with me supplying the pump. He said it took him about 1½hours to do the job, but I was charged for 3 hours labor. Probably what the book shows. I'd buy it again and I'll try to do the job myself.
