Durante buena parte de esta novela Gonzalo es un poetastro que quiere ser poeta y un padrastro que se comporta como si fuera el padre biológico de Vicente, un niño adicto a la comida para gatos que años más tarde se niega a estudiar en la universidad porque su sueño principal es convertirse –también– en poeta, a pesar de los consejos de Carla, su orgullosamente solitaria madre, y de León, un padre mediocre dedicado a coleccionar autitos de juguete.

Story1
Condenado a la seriedad y a la impostura, Julio, el silencioso protagonista de este libro, acaba convenciéndose de que es mejor encerrarse en su cuarto a observar el crecimiento de un bonsái que vagar por los incómodos caminos de la literatura. Es ésta, como dice el narrador, "una historia liviana que se pone pesada", un relato elíptico y vertiginoso marcado por la inquietante desaparición de una mujer.

Story1
Verónica tarda, Verónica se demora inexplicablemente y el libro sigue hasta que ella regrese o hasta que Julián esté seguro de que ya no volverá. De eso va La vida privada de los árboles: de la noche larga y tal vez definitiva que Julián pasa esperando que su mujer regrese, que el libro termine. Hacia el final de esta, la segunda novela de Alejandro Zambra, Julián desea ser una voz en off, un coleccionista de historias ajenas; quiere escribir y no ser escrito, pero esperar es dejarse escribir: esperar es seguir una constante deriva de imágenes.

Story0
Formas de volver a casa habla de la generación de quienes aprendían a leer o a dibujar mientras sus padres se convertían en cómplices o víctimas de la dictadura de Augusto Pinochet. Alejandro Zambra muestra el Chile de mediados de los años ochenta a partir de la vida de un niño de nueve años. El autor apunta a la necesidad de una literatura de los hijos, de una mirada que haga frente a las versiones oficiales. Pero no se trata solo de matar al padre sino también de entender realmente lo que sucedía en esos años.

Story0
Aunque este singular e inclasificable libro de Alejandro Zambra se llama Literatura infantil, conviene advertir que incluye un magnífico cuento que gira en torno al lenguaje grosero y un relato directamente lisérgico en que un hombre intenta, en pleno viaje terapéutico de hongos, volver a aprender el dificilísimo arte de gatear. En caso de que algún niño llegara accidentalmente a estas páginas, debería leerlas en compañía de un adulto, a pesar de que aquí son precisamente los niños quienes, a su manera, protegen a los adultos del desánimo, el egocentrismo y la dictadura del tiempo cronológico.
