BONSAI - ALEJANDRO ZAMBRA KARTONIERT (TB)

Taut and full of verve. The New York Times Book Review The landmark first novel of one of the
greatest living Latin American writers now in a sparkling new translation by his longtime
collaborator When it was first published in 2006  then-literary critic and poet Alejandro
Zambra s first novel  Bonsai  caused a sensation. It was said  according to Chile s newspaper
of record  El Mercurio  that it represented the end of an era  or the beginning of another  in
the nation s letters. Zambra would go on to become a writer of international renown  winning
prizes in Chile and around the world for his funny  tender  sly fictions. Here  in a brilliant
new translation from four-time International Booker Prize nominee Megan McDowell  is the little
book that started it all: The story of Julio and Emilia  two Chilean university students who 
seeking truth in great literature  find one another instead. As they fall together and drift
apart over the course of young adulthood  Zambra spins an emotionally engrossing  expertly
distilled  formally inventive tale of love  art  and memory.
