Dos horas de sol
(Book)

Publisher Annotation: A publisher and his partner travel to Acapulco under the pretext of conducting an interview. The sunny days they had expected will be wiped out by a hurricane that will alter their view of the world. Same as other novels by José Agustín, Two Hours of Sun matured slowly. The protagonists, a yuppie publisher and his partner, visit Acapulco with the pretext of writing an article about the port s shadowy places, looking to have a good time. The journey, both real and symbolic, is the backbone of the plot. In Two Hours of Sun, the desires of both protagonists get lost in the inexcusable coldness of fate: a hurricane thrashes the port and changes the plans of the two travelers. The storm unveils what had remained hidden while one complains about the situation, the other plunges into Acapulco s everyday life. This novel is a wonderful allegory of Mexico at the end of the twentieth century. The trip, the storm, the transformations and adventures of the characters, accompanied by two gringas vacationing at the port, are narrated with the extraordinary ease and exquisite humor characteristic of José Agustín s narrative. 224pp.
