'When I read Zambra I feel like someone's shooting fireworks inside
my head. His prose is as compact as a grain of gunpowder, but its
allusions and ramifications branch out and illuminate even the most
remote corners of our minds.' - Valeria Luiselli, author of The
Story of My Teeth
'There is no writer like Alejandro Zambra, no one as bold, as
subtle, as funny.' - Daniel Alarcon, author of At Night We Walk In
Circles
'Falling in love with Zambra's literature is a fascinating road to
travel. Imaginative and original, he is a master of short forms; I
adore his devastating audacity.' - Enrique Vila-Matas, author of
The Illogic of Kassel
