Overview

Una novela sobre el paso a la edad adulta, la búsqueda de la identidad sexual y la amistad de quienes se sienten desajustados respecto al mundo. Por la autora más aclamada de la literatura japonesa actual, Hiromi Kawakami.

Las circunstancias han convertido a Midori Edo en un muchacho que siente sobre los hombros todo el peso de una adultez prematura. Vive en casa de su abuela Masako junto a su madre Aiko, y recibe regularmente las visitas de su desvergonzado padre biológico.

Pero Midori y su familia no son los únicos que viven constreñidos por el asfixiante lazo de una existencia precaria. Hanada, su amigo de la escuela, quiere vestirse como una mujer para fundirse así con la sociedad que lo rodea y sentir el desprecio ejercido por esta en su propia piel, al tiempo que la enamorada Mizue ha de soportar sus miradas llenas de indiferencia.

Algo que brilla como el mar es la historia de unos personajes que sienten que en el mundo donde viven no hay lugar para ellos. Midori, Hanada, Mizue; todos ellos transitan por un puente colgante entre una época ancestral que vive sus últimos días y un mundo nuevo que justo empieza a abrir los ojos al cambio.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A novel about the passage to adulthood and the search for sexual identity and friendship by characters who feel out of synch with the world. By the one of today’s most acclaimed Japanese authors, Hiromi Kawakami.

Life has burdened Midori Edo with adult responsibilities too soon. He and his mother, Aiko, live with his grandmother, and he endures regular visits from his shiftless biological father.

But Midori and his family aren’t the only ones constrained by social boundaries and a precarious existence. Hanada, his school friend, wants to dress as a woman to experience misogyny firsthand, even as his girlfriend, Mizue, suffers his indifference.

Something that Glimmers Like the Sea is a story about people who feel like there’s no place for them in their world. Midori, Hanada, Mizue: all walk a tightrope between traditional mores on their way out and a new world just beginning to awaken to change.
