“At first we let the story carry us along and we think we recognise it, and for a while we even feel at home and walk securely around those territories we think are familiar, but suddenly we discover a shade, a discreet lilt, a mark we couldn’t foresee. Then we understand that we had not understood, we realize that the story is another, that we are and aren’t there.”
— Alejandro Zambra, from ‘This is Like a Story by Alejandra Costamagna’, Not to Read (trans. Megan McDowell)
