Synopsis "Bonsai (in Spanish)"

Condenado a la seriedad y a la impostura, Julio, el silencioso protagonista de este libro, acaba convenciendose de que es mejor encerrarse en su cuarto a observar el crecimiento de un bonsai que vagar por los incomodos caminos de la literatura. Es esta, como dice el narrador, una historia liviana que se pone pesada, un relato eliptico y vertiginoso marcado por la inquietante desaparicion de una mujer.Jorge Luis Borges aconsejaba escribir como si se estuviera redactando el resumen de una obra ya escrita. Y eso es, precisamente, lo que ha hecho Alejandro Zambra en este libro quedel mismo modo que un bonsai no es un arbolmas que una novela corta o un relato largo es una novela-resumen o, justamente, una novela-bonsai.Bonsai, el brillante debut narrativo de Alejandro Zambra (que inspiro la pelicula homonima de Cristian Jimenez, estrenada en la seccion Un certain regard del Festival de Cannes 2011), no es solo, en palabras de Leila Guerriero para el epilogo admirado que acompaña a esta edicion, una primera novela (...) que viajo hasta hoy intacta en sus capacidades: es la obra de un escritor con oido absoluto, en la que cada parrafo es imprescindible, a la que nada le falta, nada le sobra; es, en fin, literatura recorrida por una escalofriante sensacion de vida que se ha convertido ya en un clasico contemporaneo.Un relato estremecedor, sutil y, en ultima instancia, desgarrador, de una historia de amor en Chile entre esa clase de jovenes listillos que en la cama hablan de la importancia de Proust. Y al lector ya se le pone la carne de gallina con esa terrible frase del comienzo:Al final ella muere y el se queda solo, aunque en realidad se habia quedado solo varios años antes de la muerte de ella.Pero solo leyendo hasta el final podra capturar el espectral espiritu del relato. Un verdadero golpe a la mandibula (Junot Diaz).

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.
