We Say
Auto- fiction, meta- fiction, call it what you will, but Zambra puts head, heart and soul into this wonderful book. He has a way of writing that speaks directly to you, as if discussing serious matters with a great friend in the wee small hours of the morning over a cup of coffee or a whisky or two.
