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) has published, among others, the novels Bonsai (2006), The Private Lives of Trees (2007), Ways of Going Home (2011) and Chilean Poet (2020), the short story collection My Documents (2014), the essay collections Not to Read (2018) and Free Topic (2019), and a couple of books that are quite more difficult to classify, like the very unique Facsimile, which Anagrama reissued in 2021, and Children's Literature (2023), a series of tales, fiction and non-fiction, about childhood and parenthood

His novels have been translated into twenty languages, and his stories have appeared in magazines such as The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine, The Paris Review, Granta, Harper’s, and McSweeney’s. He has been a fellow at the New York Public Library and has received, among other distinctions, the English Pen Award, the O. Henry Prize, and the Prince Claus Award.
