Through a dual reading, the author explores childhood and the onset of adolescence in parallel with the existence of the Izquierda Unida coalition. The book offers a reflection on utopia and collective failure, using poetry as a vehicle to understand the passage of time and the disillusionment of a generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is structured around two overlapping readings. On one hand, the historical and political reading, which reconstructs the rise and fall of the Peruvian coalition Izquierda Unida between the 80s and the mid-90s. On the other hand, the personal reading, which narrates the author's childhood and awakening to adolescence during that same period. Lasso uses poetry to first draw the horizon of utopia and, later, to record the failure of that political project, all filtered through the gaze of someone growing up amidst those events. The result is a work that fuses intimate lyricism with the collective memory of a country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHistorical and political memory of Peru in the eighties and nineties.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePolitical utopia and its subsequent collective failure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eChildhood and adolescence as formative stages and an awakening to reality.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe link between individual experience and social processes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePoetry as a tool to review the past and understand the present.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers interested in contemporary poetry that addresses political and social themes from a personal perspective.
