Alejandro Zambra é um escritor chileno e que foi eleito pela revista Granta (2010) um dos melhores escritores de língua espanhola com menos de 35 anos.
Em 2006 o seu primeiro romance, Bonsái, foi um sucesso, tanto de crítica como de público e acabou adaptado ao cinema tendo sido apresentado no Festival de Cannes de 2011.
Meus documentos é uma colectânea de 11 contos que está dividida em três partes. À medida que avançamos na leitura vemos a mudança de tom dos contos, que começam mais leves e divertidos e acabam mais pesados e terríveis.
São memórias que se vão misturando com a história do Chile, com a ditadura de Pinochet, são pessoas perdidas, angustiadas, solitárias e com dificuldades nos relacionamentos.
Zambra tem uma linguagem clean e sem grandes floreados.

Contos favoritos:
Camilo
Instituto Nacional
Eu fumava muito bem

12/198 - Chile
