In Not to Read, Alejandro Zambra outlines his own particular theory
of reading that also offers a kind of blurry self-portrait, or
literary autobiography. Whether writing about Natalia Ginzburg,
typewriters and computers, Paul Leautaud, or how to be silent in
German, his essays function as a laboratory for his novels, a
testing ground for ideas, readings and style. Not to Read also
presents an alternative pantheon of Latin American literature -
Zambra would rather talk about Nicanor Parra than Pablo Neruda,
Mario Levrero than Gabriel Garcia Marquez. His voice is that of a
trusted friend telling you about a book or an author he's excited
about, how he reads, and why he writes. A standard-bearer of his
generation in Chile, with Not to Read Alejandro Zambra confirms he
is one of the most engaging writers of our time.
