HTML:??Sublime . . . true and beautiful and moving.? ??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.?

Alejandro Zambras Bonsai ist eine kunstvoll komponierte & sehr gut übersetzte Erzählung über die Liebe & die Liebe zur Literatur, über das Sterben & die Schmerzen daran, oder: eine literarisierte, melancholische Cello-Etüde.

That same night Emilia lied to Julio for the first time, and the lie was, also, that she had read Marcel Proust.
Julio confided in Emilia about matters that only Julio's psychologist should have known about, and Emilia, in her turn, turned Julio into a kind of retroactive accomplice for each decision she had taken in the course of her life.
Julio and Emilia's peculiarities weren't only sexual (they did have them), nor emotional (these abounded), but also, so to speak, literary.
