The Book of Questions may be the only publication that challenges-and even changes-the way you view the world, without offering a single opinion of its own. Would you allow yourself to be frozen within the week if you knew it would give you a modest chance of being revived in 1,000 years and living a greatly extended life?With a clear acetate jacket with striking green lettering (an homage to Neruda’s affinity for writing in green ink, which he saw as the color of hope), this edition contains six magnificent gatefold spreads that lift to reveal more questions and expanded illustrations, inviting readers into deeper and deeper reflection.

Valdivia’s colors are simply stunning: striking red, bold yellow, rich turquoise, and textured grays jump off the bright white and deep black backgrounds. The book is large and contains playful fold-out pages and whimsical illustrations that help bring readers into the imaginative world of the questions… In illustrating these questions, Valdivia didn't want to hint at any answers.They're provocative, entertaining for personal reflection if nothing else, many sounding like they came from an Intro to Philosophy teacher's notebook, the kind used to probe and tease helpless students. The Book of Questions gives you permission to ask those things that are too bold, too embarrassing, or just too difficult to ask by yourself.
