So October starts with this fine set of stories from Chile's Alejandro Zambra. There's a nice blurb in the alt text and as always Megan McDowell's translation helps bring the writer into our language very nicely indeed. Just more excellence from @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social

My Documents, by Alejandro Zambra, tr by Megan McDowell.

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.

An unsettling portrait of the U.S. with some hope in it. A reflection about “a physical space made less real by its online shadow.” A story about the childless sorrow. A feminist ‘On the Road’. Really worth for time. Beautifully edited by @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social
