The first story collection by the internationally celebrated writer
Alejandro Zambra, a book that "burn[s] brighter than most anything
we'd call exceptional, yesterday or today and in any language"
(NPR)-now reissued by Penguin In this beloved and critically
acclaimed collection, Alejandro Zambra offers eleven stories that
capture life in Chile before and after Pinochet, a catalog of the
peculiar and powerful associations that shape our relationships,
our identities, and our lives. The effect is that of a novel in
eleven parts, each one uncannily captivating, formerly residing in
an innocuous desktop folder titled "My Documents." Intimate and
playful, inventive and profound, My Documents is one of Zambra's
finest achievements: a book that exudes boundless wit and
impeccable style and that is a testament to the necessity of
literature even-and especially-in times of political crisis.
