His prose is as compact as a grain of gunpowder, but its allusions and ramifications branch out and illuminate even the most remote corners of our minds.’<br />

<p>‘There is no writer like Alejandro Zambra, no one as bold, as subtle, as funny.’<br />
— Daniel Alarcón, author of <em>At Night We Walk In Circles</em></p>
