Bonsai (English edition)

Hailed as a great Latin American literary event, this stylistically innovative tale of a young writer and his love who mysteriously disappears is a beguilling exploration of the relationship between art, love and life. Whimsical on the one hand, wiser-than-its-years on the other, it is a work of such striking originality and unusual beauty as to make it seem, as one leading Latin American critic put it, "Brief as a sigh and forceful as a blow."
