The Most Fragile Objects, Chimal's first novel published in translation, tells three stories (maybe two, or just one) of people living secret lives in early 21st-century Mexico. They seem to indulge in wanton sex and power fantasies. But is everything what it appears to be? With a style that never resorts to titillation and a plot structure in which the factual and the dubious chase each other, The Most Fragile Objects, is an unusual, dark take on the themes of power, love, imagination, and freedom.Alberto Chimal (Toluca, 1970) is one of Mexico's most prolific authors. His work encompasses a variety of genres and forms, including the novel, short story, essay, experimental fiction, and children's literature. He is also a sought-after clinician, lecturer, and teacher of creative writing. The recipient of numerous awards, his second novel, La torre y el jardín, was shortlisted in 2013 for the Rómulo Gallegos prize, one of the most prestigious in the Spanish language. His work has been translated into numerous languagesOne of the most versatile and unpredictable storytellers in Latin American literature today.Marco Kunz, QuimeraHis stories are very corporal, even voluptuous: pure flesh.Jorge Carrión, Otra ParteHad Alberto Chimal written the History of the human race, this world would be a much more interesting place.Eme Equis magazine
