"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 biol???ogico de Vicente, un ni???no adicto a la comida para gatos que a???nos m???as tarde se niega a estudiar en la universidad porque su sue???no principal es convertirse -tambi???en- en poeta, a pesar de los consejos de Carla, su orgullosamente solitaria madre, y de Le???on, un padre mediocre dedicado a coleccionar autitos de juguete. El poderoso mito de la poes???ia chilena -un personaje secundario dice, aludiendo a los veredictos de la Academia Sueca, que los chilenos son bicampeones mundiales de poes???ia- es revisitado y cuestionado por Pru, una periodista gringa que se convierte en testigo accidental de ese esquivo e intenso mundo de h???eroes e impostores literarios. ???La verdadera seriedad es c???omica???, dec???ia Nicanor Parra, y esta novela sobre poetas que desprecian las novelas lo demuestra brillantemente. El laberinto masculino actual, los tr???agicos vaivenes del amor, las familias -o familiastras- fugaces, la omnipresente descon ga sanza en instituciones y autoridades, el deseo valiente y obcecado de pertenecer a una comunidad en parte imaginaria, el sentido de escribir y de leer en un mundo hostil que parece desmoronarse a toda velocidad... Son muchos los temas que este libro hermoso, contundente y desenfadado pone encima de la mesa. Autor de obras que se han vuelto emblem???aticas, como Bons???ai, Formas de volver a casa, Mis documentos o Facs???imil, Alejandro Zambra regresa en grande a la novela con este libro que lo confirma como una de las voces fundamentales de la literatura latinoamericana en lo que va de siglo."--Back cover.
