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.

Buy it
If you're looking for a comfortable thick and nice turtle neck this is the one. It's nice and form fitting nice weight to it to keep you warm. But not to thick that you cant just wear it on a regular sunny day if you wanted. The design pattern Is also very nice. Can dress it up or down. I bought the black and then immediately bought the rust orange color for my friend once he tried on mine he wanted one immediately so I gifted him one. He loves it. Definitely worth the buy. Excellent quality. I bought a Large 5"11 165lbs

A true turtleneck that retains a snug high neck.
Color: White, Size: X-Large
I've found this brand to have gotten better over the years as far as offering the American market what it needs in terms of realistic sizing. I only wish they'd realize that there are a lot of us who are long in the back and arms where my only choice is to go a size up and sacrifice a slim fit for sleeves that are long enough plus a back that doesn't go up past my waist just because I reach up for something, that and I like to be warm. So these are such nice quality turtlenecks that it's hard to complain about but maybe the company will read this. The snug neck stays up is plus number one since that's why I'm buying a full neck. They come with very nice weaves in the fabric, good enough for casual or formal wear. Finally the warmth you seek is there but I've worn them in what most would think isn't the right temp for a turtleneck. Also they have them in white! Yes, a lot of others just don't for reasons I can't fathom, and the pic you're seeing is accurate, these will form to your shape without being ridiculously thin material. Several washes later and they are as fine a garment as when I first wore them. I've only found one other brand that compares to these but it's much more expensive, COOFANDY is affordable in these times of expensive everything. Warm but also a lightweight shirt, I've gotten them really dirty with actual dirt and it washes out so well you'd never know it. Don't let my taking off one star stop you, try one yourself and you'll be coming back for more.
