A blazing new story collection that
will make you feel like the house is collapsing in on you,
from the 3 time International Booker Prize finalist,
"lead[ing] a vanguard of Latin American writers forging
their own 21st-century canon.” –O, the
Oprah magazine
The seven houses in these seven
stories are strange. A person is missing, or a truth, or
memory; some rooms are enticing, some unmoored, others
empty. But in Samanta Schweblin's tense, visionary tales,
something always creeps back inside: a ghost, a fight,
trespassers, a list of things to do before you die, a
child's first encounter with darkness or the fallibility of
parents.
In each story, twists and turns will
unnerve and surprise: Schweblin never takes the expected
path and instead digs under the skin, revealing surreal
truths about our sense of home, of belonging, and of the
fragility of our connections with others. This is a
masterwork from one of our most brilliant modern writers.
