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.
