A "brilliant, innovative, beautiful" (The Guardian) book from the
acclaimed author of Chilean Poet "Dazzling . . . a work of parody,
but also of poetry." -The New York Times Book Review NAMED ONE OF
THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR, THE GUARDIAN, AND THE IRISH
TIMES "Latin America's new literary star" (The New Yorker),
Alejandro Zambra is celebrated around the world for his strikingly
original, slyly funny, daringly unconventional fiction. Now, at the
height of his powers, Zambra returns with his most audaciously
brilliant book yet. Written in the form of a standardized test,
Multiple Choice invites the reader to respond to virtuoso language
exercises and short narrative passages through multiple-choice
questions that are thought-provoking, usually unanswerable, and
often absurd. It offers a new kind of reading experience, one in
which the reader participates directly in the creation of meaning,
and the nature of storytelling itself is called into question. At
once funny, poignant, and political, Multiple Choice is about love
and family, authoritarianism and its legacies, and the conviction
that, rather than learning to think for ourselves, we are trained
to obey and repeat. Serious in its literary ambition and playful in
its execution, it confirms Alejandro Zambra as one of the most
important writers working in any language. NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE
SUMMER BY THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, ELLE, THE HUFFINGTON POST, THE
MILLIONS, VOX, LIT HUB, THE BBC, THE GUARDIAN AND PUREWOW
