"A richly imaginative debut, detailing a girl and her father finding their way -and themselves - while they work as traveling hardware salesmen in Pinochet-era Chile, is a rare work of magic and originality. For seven-year-old M, the world is guided by a firm set of principles, based on her father D's life as a traveling salesman. Enchanted by her father's trade, M convinces him to take her along on his routes, selling hardware supplies amid the backdrop of Pinochet-era Chile. As she becomes part of a tight-knit community of fellow salesmen and grifters, M is regaled with parables and anecdotes that inform her "parallel education," D's excuse for letting her skip school without M's mother's knowledge. As father and daughter trek from town to town in their old Renault, M's memories and thoughts become tied to a language of rural commerce, philosophy, the cosmos, hardware products, and ghosts. M, in her innocence, barely notices the rising tensions and precarious nature of their work, until she and her father connect with an enigmatic photographer, E, whose presence threatens to upend the whimsical life they've created."--Provided by publisher.… (meer)

I read this charming little book in one sitting. I'm sure I missed some subtle nuances since I'm not familiar with the history of Pinochet-era Chile, but I really enjoyed this nonetheless. ( )

Racconto di crescita di una fantastica bambina che diventa ragazzina nel lungo viaggio della vita di bambina in compagnia del padre, commesso viaggiatore per la ditta di ferramenta Kramp, nascosta da una madre assente e invisibile e dalla scuola che frequenterà un giorno sì e tre no. Ma di una madre e di una scuola non avrà bisogno la piccola, perché a insegnarle la vita ci penseranno il padre e il suo lavoro, il catalogo di prodotti Kramp, i colleghi del padre.
È una storia assurdamente folgorante, coinvolgente e che tocca tantissimi argomenti in poco più di 100 pagine. Veloce e netta come un fulmine ti spacca il cervello, ogni pagina un punto di riflessione, per ogni frase quasi ci sarebbe da scriverne un libro a parte.
Con una narrazione serrata ma rilassata l'autrice ci accompagna in quelli che sono i momenti che una bambina passerà a crescere in modo parallelo alla vita che avrebbe dovuto vivere. E con poche parole la vita di una famiglia, anzi, di più di una.
Lascia assolutamente esterrefatti il finale, che non anticiperò nemmeno sul blog, dove avrete un pensiero più esteso di quello che è il mio parere.
Buona lettura, consigliata a tutti. ( )

A beautiful told coming of age tale featuring 7 year old M as her childlike view of the world slowly dissolves as the realities of Pinochet era Chile intrude. ( )

How to Order the Universe by María José Ferrada, translated by Elizabeth Bryer is told from a child's perspective – “M”, a child who idealizes her father but whose idealism is one day shattered. Presumably, it is her attempt at seeing an order to her own universe. The ending leaves me wondering what happens in the future which is a statement to the success of the story and the storytelling.

This intense novel shows a child’s perception of what is happening in Chile during the Pinochet-era. M travels with her father, a salesman. As his sidekick, she’s responsible for “guilting” the hardware suppliers into buying from her father. But when they meet a photographer, identified as “E” the lives of both father and daughter are put in danger. Escaping from a night of gunfire M finds herself alone and M returns to her mother. Ferrada has published several children’s novels. This is her debut adult title, and she understands children, in this unsettling, quickly read story. ( )
