"Lean, thoughtful, and keenly observed, the Argentinean Chejfec's
first work translated into English packs a great deal of insight
into 102 pages ... Carson's magnificent translation of Chejfec's
latest work should be treated as a significant event."Publishers
Weekly
"Without a doubt, Chejfec deserves greater recognition. My Two
Worlds paves the way for the novel of the future."Enrique
Vila-Matas
"Do you know that moment when you think someone calls out to you,
but it's not you they're really looking for? My Two Worlds is the
novel version of that instant: Something is happening, but I'm not
sure what it is. Chejfec pulls off a sense of metaphysical
confusion that, turns out, is a master plan of the literary
processa collision of the two worlds of thought and writing. My
Two Worlds is a strange, unique little book that is overwhelmingly
a delight to read."The Literary Review
"Combining the documentary insight of W.G. Sebald with the fanciful
flights of Italo Calvino, the book allows us to enter the thoughts
of a restless intellectual whose streams of thought involve the
reader in his quest to find meaning in everything he sees and does.
A short but penetrating novel about coexisting in the material
world and the world of thought."Kirkus Reviews
