My Documents
Alejandro Zambra
Synopsis "My Documents"
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. Whether chronicling the attempts of a migraine-afflicted writer to quit smoking or the loneliness of the call-centre worker, the life of a personal computer or the return of a mercurial godson, this collection of stories evokes the disenchantments of youth and the disillusions of maturity in a Chilean society still troubled by its recent past. Written with the author's trademark irony and precision, humour and melancholy, MY DOCUMENTS is unflinchingly human and essential evidence of a sublimely talented writer working at the height of his powers.
Alejandro Zambra (Santiago de Chile, 1975) ha publicado entre otros, las novelas Bonsái (2006), La vida privada de los árboles (2007), Formas de volver a casa (2011) y Poeta chileno (2020), el libro de cuentos Mis documentos (2014), las colecciones de ensayos No leer (2018) y Tema libre (2019), y un par de libros bastante más difíciles de clasificar, como el particularísimo Facsímil, que Anagrama recuperó en 2021, y Literatura infantil (2023), una serie de relatos, de ficción y no ficción, sobre infancia y paternidad.
Sus novelas han sido traducidas a veinte lenguas, y sus relatos han aparecido en revistas como The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine, The Paris Review, Granta, Harper’s y McSweeney’s. Ha sido becario de la Biblioteca Pública de Nueva York y ha recibido, entre otras distinciones, el English Pen Award, el O. Henry Prize y el Premio Príncipe Claus.
