How do we write about the singular experience of parenthood? Written in a 'state
of attachment', or 'under the influence' of fatherhood, Childish Literature is
an eclectic guide for novice parents, showing how the birth and growth of a
child changes not only the present and the future, but also reshapes our
perceptions of the past. Shifting from moving dispatches from his son's first
year of existence, to a treatise on 'football sadness', to a psychedelic
narrative where a man tries, mid-magic mushroom trip, to re-learn the subtle art
of crawling, this latest work from Alejandro Zambra shows how children shield
adults from despondency, self-absorption and the tyrannies of chronological
time. At once a chronicle of fatherhood, a letter to a child and a work of
fiction, Childish Literature is the latest, virtuosic addition to the oeuvre of
one of the most exciting Latin American writers in recent decades.
