Winner of Chile's Literary Critics' Award for Best Novel "One of the greatest literary events of recent years."-Alfonso Cortínez, Las Últimas Noticias "An unclassifiable object of unusual beauty . . . one of the best Chilean novels of recent times."-David Lacalle, Capital Hailed as a great Latin American literary event, this stylistically innovative, elliptically told tale of a young man and his love who mysteriously disappears is, as the narrator tells us, "a simple story that becomes complicated." Through both the distance and closeness of these young lovers, Alejandro Zambra brilliantly explores the relationship between art, love, and life. Bonsai is accessible yet profound-as one critic in Chile's Capital newspaper put it, "Brief as a sigh and forceful as a blow." Alejandro Zambra is acclaimed as the greatest writer of Chile's younger generation. He is a poet and critic and currently teaches literature at the Diego Portales University in Santiago. Bonsai is his first novel. It was awarded Chile's Literary Critics' Award for Best Novel.
