Publisher Review

************ Praise for Sergio Chejfec "Sergio Chejfec is an admirable writer." -Patti Smith "Chejfec's latest work should be treated as a significant event." -Publisher's Weekly "It is hard to think of another contemporary writer who, marrying true intellect with simple description of a space, simultaneously covers so little and so much ground." -Times Literary Supplement "I'd locate My Two Worlds among the rarae aves of recent fiction, among those books still capable of blazing new paths on the perilous trajectory of the modern novel." -Enrique Vila-Matas "This first novel by New York-based Argentine native Chejfec to be translated into English is a slim, gracefully discursive work....[My Two Worlds] 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." -Kirkus Reviews "If genius can be defined by the measure of depth of an artist's perception into human experience, then Chejfec is a genius." -Coffin Factory "Sergio Chejfec's The Incompletes is a masterfully nested narrative where writing-its presence on the page, its course through time, its prismatic dispersion of meaning-is the true protagonist. Heather Cleary's flawless translation adds yet another layer to this extraordinary palimpsest of a novel." -Hernan Diaz "This was one of Sergio's great gifts as a writer: his ability to take the small, the fragmentary, and to reveal the worlds contained within." -Heather Cleary, Lit Hub "A beautifully baffling book about the peripatetic wanderings of your own mind through the hotels, hallways, and postcards of the protagonists, or about the instability hiding in every apparently solid building, or maybe even how you don't know an event is significant until some disconnected and celestial phenomenon illuminates it." -Josh Cook , Porter Square Books
