Available in a beautifully rendered new translation, Alejandro Zambra's brilliantly distilled first novel is a formally innovative, metafictional tale of love, art and memory.

Matilda Bookshop Review

This diminutive, shapely novel perfectly contains elemental questions about love, identity, literature, and memory. It follows two Chilean students over the course of decades as they drift in and out of each other's orbits--sometimes illuminated, sometimes devastated, by one another. And all the while, 'Bonsai' the novel is both being written and attended to. Stunning! Molly
