Summary:
"The first story collection by the internationally celebrated writer Alejandro Zambra, a book that "burn[s] brighter than most anything we'd call exceptional, yesterday or today and in any language" (NPR)-now reissued by Penguin In this beloved and critically acclaimed collection, Alejandro Zambra offers eleven stories that capture life in Chile before and after Pinochet, a catalog of the peculiar and powerful associations that shape our relationships, our identities, and our lives. The effect is that ofa novel in eleven parts, each one uncannily captivating, formerly residing in an innocuous desktop folder titled "My Documents." Intimate and playful, inventive and profound, My Documents is one of Zambra's finest achievements: a book that exudes boundless wit and impeccable style and that is a testament to the necessity of literature even-and especially-in times of political crisis"-- Provided by publisher.
