He is a standard-bearer of his generation in Chile.

Publisher: Fitzcarraldo Editions
Alejandro Zambra's Not to Read is a unique theory of reading that doubles as a blurry self-portrait or literary autobiography. Whether he is writing about Natalia Ginzburg, typewriters, computers, Paul Léautaud, or how to be silent in German, his essays serve as a laboratory for his novels, a testing ground for ideas, readings, and style. Moreover, the book offers an alternative pantheon of Latin American literature, prioritizing authors like Nicanor Parra over Pablo Neruda, Mario Levrero over Gabriel García Márquez. Zambra's voice is that of a trusted friend sharing his excitement about a book or author, discussing his reading habits, and explaining the motivations behind his writing. As a standard-bearer of his generation in Chile, Not to Read confirms Alejandro Zambra's status as one of the most engaging and captivating writers of our time.
