By Alejandro Zambra

Mi padre period un computador y mi madre una máquina de escribir», apunta Alejandro Zambra en las primeras páginas de este libro de relatos, que bien puede leerse como una novela, o como as soon as breves novelas archivadas en los angeles carpeta Mis documentos. A veces parece que hablara un mismo personaje, trasunto del autor, que recuerda sus desventuras como estudiante y como profesor, o que registra su malhumorado intento de superar el tabaquismo («Qué cosa más absurda, realmente: querer vivir más. Como si fuera, por ejemplo, feliz»). Pero los angeles ilusión de una vida propia, fomentada por l. a. famosa carpeta de home windows, se rompe pronto: los documentos de uno son, en el fondo, los documentos de todos, parece decirnos Zambra, en especial si se habita un país que necesita indagar en el pasado. Con el fino sentido de l. a. ironía y los angeles precisión que ya le conocemos, con humor y melancolía, con espíritu paródico, con aliento lírico y a veces con rabia, Alejandro Zambra traza los angeles anodina existencia de unos hombres que se repliegan en una concept antigua de los angeles masculinidad, o el tránsito de unos seres pendulares que apuestan sus últimas fichas al amor. l. a. incesante búsqueda del padre, l. a. obsolescencia de objetos y de sentimientos que parecían eternos, el desencanto de los jóvenes de los angeles transición («La adolescencia period verdadera. l. a. democracia no»), l. a. impostura como única forma de arraigo, y los angeles legitimidad del dolor, son algunos de los temas que cruzan este libro. Mis documentos muestra a un autor que consolida y proyecta hacia lugares nuevos el own estilo forjado en Bonsái (descrita por Junot Díaz en the hot York occasions como «un puñetazo en l. a. mandíbula»), l. a. vida privada de los árboles («Una obra sorprendentemente entera y resonante», según the entire Review), y Formas de volver a casa, una novela sobre l. a. cual los angeles crítica ha sido elocuente: «Un magnífico lenguaje, a los angeles sombra de Carver: precisión, tristeza, crueldad, ternura» (Joaquín Arnáiz, l. a. Razón); «Una de las mejores novelas chilenas en mucho tiempo» (Tal Pinto, The Clinic); «Formas de volver a casa eleva a Zambra al lugar de los escritores vivos que simplemente debemos leer» (Clancy Martin, Bookforum); «Un talento asombroso» (Adam Thirlwell, the hot York occasions ebook Review).
