Profile
Alejandro Zambra is a writer based in Mexico. He is the author of three very short, lyrical novels of astonishing depth and resonance. Beneath a seemingly mundane surface, interwoven with intriguing structural games and a masterly economy of language, he explores notions of love and trust and reveals the inexorable impact of the past on the present. A representative of the generation who were children during the dictatorship, Zambra reflects on the ownership of that painful history.
