Tres vidas. Una única historia.

Una novela íntima y emocionante sobre la familia, las pérdidas y las nuevas oportunidades, por el ganador del Premio Alfaguara.

«Pocos novelistas que escriben en mi lengua me producen tanta admiración como Jorge Franco».

Almudena Grandes

«Este es uno de los autores colombianos a quien me gustaría pasarle la antorcha».

Gabriel García Márquez

«Él, que había caminado media vida en el puro filo de una navaja, identificó ya en su niño la irremediable vocación al extravío».

La explosión de una bomba y la desaparición de un niño trenzarán de manera ineludible el drama de los protagonistas de El vacío en el que flotas, y entonces seremos testigos --en este juego de ficciones en el que una historia parece desarrollarse dentro de otra, como en un set de muñecas rusas-- de tres relatos que comparten un mismo personaje. En el primero, una joven pareja pierde a su hijo pequeño en un atentado terrorista: la madre sobrevive, pero del niño no queda ningún rastro. En el segundo, un joven y desconocido escritor gana un importante premio literario: ahora disfruta y padece la fama lejos del hombre que lo crio, un ser enigmático pero lleno de compasión y ternura, una especie de artista de la noche que, ataviado de mujer, siempre aspiró a dedicarse a cantar en su propio cabaré. Y en el tercero, aquel hombre que se busca la vida, y a veces se viste de mujer, de repente llega a su pensión con un niño perdido: explica que los padres del pequeño murieron en un accidente y que él debe cuidarlo, porque es su única familia. Así, las tres historias se van entrecruzando, emergiendo unas de otras, para provocar una lectura intensa e llena de intriga que se pregunta por aquellos que nos dejan con el peso de su ausencia.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Three lives. A single story.

An intimate and exciting novel about family, loss and new opportunities, by the winner of the Alfaguara Prize.

"After spending half his life on the razor's edge, he detecting in this boy an irremediable pull toward vanishing."

A bomb goes off and a child disappears, inextricably linking the lives of the protagonists of The Void in Which You Float. In this artful novel, stories develop one within the other like a set of Russian dolls, with a single character at their center.

In the first plot, a young couple loses a child in a terrorist attack. The mother survives, but no trace is found of her son. In the second, an obscure young writer wins a prestigious literary award, navigating the ups and downs of fame far from the man who raised him - an enigmatic figure who nevertheless is full of tenderness and compassion, a would-be artist of the night who dresses as a woman and dreams of singing in his own cabaret. The third story features this same man, an occasional crossdresser struggling to make a living, who comes home to his rented room one day with a lost child, explaining that the parents died in an accident and, as the only living relative, he must take care of the boy.

The three stories intertwine, growing one from another into an intense narrative haunted by those who leave us with the burden of their absence.

Poor quality and false advertising in size
Size: 4/0 AWG 10FT Red & Black
A complete fraud. I ordered 4/0 but got 4 gauge. The description & picture was correct, but someone doesn’t know the difference in 4 gauge and 4/0. AND the jacket insulation was cheap and translucent, not solid color and supple/flexible. Poor product quality and completely misleading.

Inexpensive part and YouTube knowledge lead to quick fix
Size: 96158T-1PCS
Solenoid went out on boat. After viewing multiple videos on YouTube I figured that my solenoid was bad. Ordered this and received a day later. Replaced the other one and this worked perfectly.

Worked perfectly!
Size: 96158T-1PCS
Have an older Mercury 40hp 2 stroke. This Solenoid worked perfectly. It is not that easy to install, due to the design of the engine. It does require a bit of patient and the right tools to do it. If you have big hands and don't do this type of repair to often, call a friend that is better than you to get some help :) I have an older engine but it runs like charm. I will order an extra Solenoid and place in the box of "important spare parts" for the future. Very good experience for the purchase and overall quality of the part.

Perfect fit and works great
Size: 96158T-2PCS
Perfect fit and works great. It is great that it comes as a 2pk. I replaced both with no need to change wiring, and kept the working one I had, as backup.

It works as it should...
Size: 96158T-2PCS
Used it in a pinch for stater relay... it works great. Be aware... Mine required metric sockets for the nuts... 10mm for large terminals - 3/8 was too tight and same for smaller terminals 7mm fit better than 5/16 that was too loose. The mounting holes are also spaced closer together than the OEM on a mercruiser 260 in a mid 1980's boat but easy to remedy with a 1/4" drill bit.
