Book Overview

La iniciaci?n sexual y sentimental de un joven homosexual en la Lima de los a?os noventa pone de relieve las dram?ticas tensiones de una sociedad represiva y discriminadora.

«Uno se da cuenta de que las cosas son distintas por la manera en que acaricias y te acarician. Mejor el fuego recrea los avatares de la fantas?a, la violencia y el placer en la vida de un joven homosexual en la Lima de los a?os noventa. Una historia donde el sexo, el miedo, la belleza, la crueldad y el amor son atributos de una memoria que los hace indistinguibles: esquirlas adheridas a un cuerpo en trance de revelaciones, asumido, seg?n describe el protagonista, como un «instrumento al servicio de las necesidades y deseos de la imaginaci?n . Gracias a un cuidado lenguaje po?tico, Jos? Carlos Yrigoyen ha sabido plasmar en esta obra el esp?ritu de una ?poca encarnado en un joven cuya piel es el campo de batalla entre sus anhelos y el mundo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The rite of sexual and emotional passage of a young homosexual man highlights dramatic tensions in the repressive and discriminatory Liman society of the nineties.

"You can tell that things have changed because of the way you touch and are touched". Fire is Better depicts the ups and downs of fantasy, violence, and pleasure in the life on a young homosexual man in Lima during the nineteen nineties. It is a story where sex, fear, beauty, cruelty, and love are all attributes of a memory that makes them indistinguishable--shrapnel in a body going through a revealing trance, considered, as the protagonist describes, an "instrument in the service of imagination's need and desire". Through a carefully crafted poetic language, Jos? Carlos Yrigoyen knew how to portray the spirit of an era in his work, embodied in a young man, whose skin is a battlefield between his own yearnings and the world.
