    A blazing new story collection that will make you feel like the house is collapsing in on you, from the three-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 in: a ghost, a fight, trespassers, a list of things to do before you die, or the fallibility of parents. Seven Empty Houses offers an entry point into a fiercely original mind, and a slingshot into Schweblin's destabilizing, exhilarating literary world. In each story, the twists and turns will unnerve and surprise: Schweblin never takes the expected path and instead digs under the skin and reveals uncomfortable 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.

    Kafka møder Brødrene Grimm i argentinske Samanta Schweblins Fugle i munden. Det er fortællinger, som med humor og suggestiv kraft bevæger sig på grænsen mellem realisme, gys og magisk realisme. En bog, der udvider feltet for, hvad litteraturen kan, og som i samme hug undersøger relationer mellem mennesker og mellem mennesker og natur. Samanta Schweblin første roman, Redningsafstand (da. 2017), var nomineret til the Man Booker International Prize.

    I Redningsafstand befinder vi os i en argentinsk flække langt fra byerne. Her løber en forgiftet bæk. Her ligger en fabrik, som tager imod lastbiler fulde af store dunke. Sygeplejersken behandler det meste med håndkøbsmedicin. Hvis der sker noget alvorligt, konsulterer man kvinden i det grønne hus. Og så er der ormene. Det er et miljø, hvor man ikke tager øjnene fra sit barn. Nogle gange har man bare ikke øjne nok, som det hedder i anslaget. Redningsafstand er en gysende intens, foruroligende og enkel roman for to stemmer, der befinder sig i en slags tomrum. Bogen er argentinske Samanta Schweblins (f. 1978) første roman, som udkom i hjemlandet i 2014, og den er siden oversat og udgivet i en lang række andre lande. Redningsafstand er nomineret til den prestigiøse Man Booker International Price 2017. ”Genial … Det føles, som om bogen tilhører en helt ny litterær genre.” The New Yorker
