Tessa reviewed My Documents by Alejandro Zambra
Review of 'My Documents' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
High-high-highly recommend.
''Last night I wrote this beginning of a tango:
Sad and serene
expecting nothing
maybe one day
no sun and no rain
I can look with ease
upon the ashtray
my voice now gutted
of light and love
I like the image of the ashtray, empty like never before, like now: incomprehensibly empty. What a terrible tango anyway. ''

''Cigarettes are like the punctuations makes of life. Now I love without punctuation, without rhythm. My life is a stupid avant-garde poem.''
