MIS Documentos by Alejandro Zambra
Named a best book of 2015 by NPR, The Boston Globe, and Electric Literature.
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, and described by Junot D az as ?a total knockout. Now, in his first short story collection, Zambra gives us eleven stories of liars and ghosts, armed bandits and young lovers?brilliant portraits of life in Chile before and after Pinochet. The cumulative effect is that of a novel?or of eleven brief novels, intimate and uncanny, archived until now in a desktop folder innocuously called ?My Documents. Zambra's remarkable vision and erudition is on full display here; this book offers clear evidence of a sublimely talented writer working at the height of his powers.
Alejandro Zambra is the author of the story collection My Documents, which was a finalist for the Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award, and three previous novels: Ways of Going Home, The Private Lives of Trees, and Bonsai. His books have been translated into more than ten languages. He has received numerous prizes in Chile, including the Chilean Literary Critics' Award in 2007 and the National Book Council's award for best novel in 2007 and 2012, as well as international distinctions such as the Prince Claus Award in Holland. His stories have appeared in The New Yorker, The Paris Review, Harper's, Tin House, and McSweeney's, among others. In 2010, he was named one of Granta's Best Young Spanish-Language Novelists. A 2015-2016 Cullman Center fellow at the New York Public Library, he divides his time between New York and Santiago, Chile.
Megan McDowell is a Spanish language literary translator from Richmond, Kentucky. With the exception of Bonsai, she has translated all of Zambra's books. She lives in Santiago, Chile.
