Archived in a folder on award-winning author Alejandro Zambra's desktop are 11 stories of liars and ghosts, armed bandits and young lovers. Intimate, mysterious, and uncanny, these stories reveal a mind that is as undeniably singular as it is universal. Together, they constitute the debut short-story collection from Zambra, whose first novel was heralded as a “bloodletting in Chilean literature.”

Whether chronicling the return of a mercurial godson or the disappearance of a trusted cousin, the worlds of these stories are so powerful and deep that the works might better be described as brief novels. My Documents is by turns hilarious and heart-stopping, tragic and tender, but most of all, it is unflinchingly human and essential evidence of a sublimely talented writer working at the height of his powers.

多说一点，有几篇特别精彩，camilo, memories of a personal computer, thank you, family life, 最后一篇仍然玩着matafictional的交互，看多了有点儿审美疲劳

这本短篇集简直把言外之意发挥到了极致，几乎所有故事都在纸面叙述的故事之外，好妙！

戒烟一篇有点感人~
