Overview

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.
