Welcome to Argentina and the fascinating, frightening, fantastical imaginationof Mariana Enriquez. In twelve spellbinding new stories, Enriquez writes about ordinary people, especially women, whose lives turn inside out when they encounter terror, the surreal, and the supernatural. A neighborhood nuisanced by ghosts, a family whose faces melt away, a faded hotel haunted by a girl who dissolved in the watertank on the roof, a riverbank populated by birds that used to be women-these and other tales illuminate the shadows of contemporary life, where the line between good and evil nolonger exists. Lyrical and hypnotic, heart-stopping and deeply moving, Enriquez's stories never fail to enthrall, entertain, and leave us shaken. Translated by the award-winning Megan McDowell, Enriquez's latest collection showcases her unique blend of the literary and the horrific, and show why Kazuo Ishiguro, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, calls her, "the most exciting discovery I've made in fiction for some time.""-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Enriquez, Mariana $v Translations into English. 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 lcgft $9 164681 700 1 $a McDowell, Megan, $e translator. $9 164022 776 08 $i Online version: 776 08 $a Enriquez, Mariana. $t Sunny place for shady people $b First edition. $d London ; New York : Hogarth, 2024 $z 9780593733264 $w (DLC) 2024011718 941 $a 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20240430010756.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1AF3D34C06B711EFB859A23027ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
