"Originally published in Spanish as Mis documentos by Editorial Anagrama, Barcelona"
"Veronica is late, and Juliâan is increasingly convinced she won't ever come home. To pass the time, he improvises a story about trees to coax his stepdaughter, Daniela, to sleep. But as the night stretches on before him, and the hours pass with no sign of Veronica, Juliâan finds himself caught up in the slipstream of the story of his life-of their lives together"--
Bonsai is the story of Julio and Emilia, two young Chilean students who, seeking truth in great literature, find each other instead. Like all young couples, they lie to each other, revise themselves, and try new identities on for size, observing and analyzing their love story as if it's one of the great novels they both pretend to have read. As they shadow each other throughout their young adulthoods, falling together and drifting apart, Zambra spins a formally innovative, metafictional tale that brilliantly explores the relationship among love, art, and memory.
Over the course of the chronicles and literary essays that make up this volume, Alejandro Zambra outlines his own particular theory of reading.
MY DOCUMENTS is the latest work from Alejandro Zambra, the award-winning Chilean writer whose first novel was heralded as the dawn of a new era in Chilean literature. MY DOCUMENTS is unflinchingly human and essential evidence of a sublimely talented writer working at the height of his powers.
A rising star of Latin American literature, and one of Granta's Best of Young Spanish Language Novelists
