Multiple Choice is a beautifully written and thought-provoking novel about love, loss, and memory. It follows the story of a young man named Gonzalo who is struggling to come to terms with the death of his father. Through a series of interconnected stories, Zambra explores the complex and often contradictory nature of grief.

Gonzalo is a writer, and his father was also a writer. After his father's death, Gonzalo finds himself drawn to his father's work, trying to understand the man he was and the relationship they had. He reads his father's books, and he writes about his father's life. But the more he learns about his father, the more he realizes how little he actually knew him.

Multiple Choice is a novel about the ways in which we remember and forget the people we love. It is a novel about the power of stories, and the ways in which they can shape our lives. It is a novel about love, loss, and the search for meaning in a world that is often confusing and chaotic.
