Synopsis "Tema Libre (in Spanish)"

Esta deliciosa colección de ficciones, conferencias, ensayos y crónicas puede entenderse como una ferviente defensa de la creación literaria, o como un llamado a desobedecer las reglas del juego, o como el resultado de una obsesiva ( y compulsiva) reflexión en torno a las palabras. O como todo eso a la vez, porque, como anuncia su título, este inusual libro apunta en direcciones múltiples. En las once piezas aquí reunidas reconocemos en plenitud la voz de Alejandro Zambra. Con desenfado, melancolía y una rara calidez, el autor da forma a un mundo personalísimo. Las imágenes de amplitud generacional y los alegatos íntimos reclaman su derecho a mezclarse con certeras observaciones sobre la creación, la traducción, y hasta con inesperadas disquisiciones sobre un pulpo de juguete o sobre los estados de ánimo de Mario Vargas Llosa.

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.
