About the Book

In stories of exquisite compression, Japanese-Argentine writer Alejandra Kamiya conjures absences, shadows and all that must remain unsaid.

As dawn breaks, a woman prepares to make a perfect breakfast for her husband and son, while a subtle note of disquiet grows louder. A Japanese soldier resolutely obeys a command as precise as it is inexplicable. Two girls discover themselves through electrically charged games, which they will recall in letters for the rest of their lives.

Enigmatic yet sharply clear, The Fallen Trees Are Also the Forest is a book of quietly shattering epiphanies from a unique voice in international fiction.

Review :
An exquisite collection of short stories. Every sentence reads like poetry. The images are carefully drawn and quietly devastating. The characters have been rendered with such compassion and humanity. The stories will linger with you like waking dreams Kamiya has a deceptively simple, starkly beautiful style of writing. In this riveting, beguiling, thoroughly unique collection, she somehow manages to blend big issues with quiet acts of daily devotion; to express a powerful nostalgia for the past as well as a universal anxiety for the future Her work is recommended with sighs of admiration and she gives readings to packed halls... You should read Alejandra Kamiya at least once in your life... Her stories are a transformative experience... Kamiya makes simple what for others is impossible to express She has a style all of her own, stripped-down and powerful, serene and surprising... Kamiya's stories are now an essential part of contemporary Argentine literature Her name has occupied a privileged position in Argentine literature for several years: booksellers and readers spread her work like they're on a mission
