How to Order the Universe is a short and delicate novel by Chilean author María José Ferrada, and translated from the Spanish by Elizabeth Bryer. It tells the story of seven-year-old M, a young girl obsessed with her father D’s trade as a traveling salesman, and determined to put her own talents to the test (but only, of course, if she gets a commission). This tale of a young girl and her childhood belief system, and the photographer named E who threatens, in Pinochet-era Chile, to tear it down, is an endearing and yet disillusioning story of growing up and trying to make the world make sense. I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. How to Order the Universe is out now from Tin House. -- source link
