Una novela visionaria sobre nuestro presente interconectado.Se han infiltrado en hogares de Hong Kong, en tiendas de Vancouver, en las calles de Sierra Leona, en plazas de Oaxaca, en dormitorios alemanes. Estan por todas partes. No son mascotas, ni fantasmas, ni robots. Son personas reales, pero ¿como puede alguien desde Lima caminar libremente por el salon de una casa en Erfuhrt? ¿Como puede un desconocido en Bangkok desayunar con tus hijos en Buenos Aires sin que tu lo sepas?a Kentukis juega con el hechizo de la conexion entre almas distantes para hablar tambien de los riesgos a los que estamos expuestos en este mundo cada vez mas conectado. Porque confiar en extraños puede llevarnos a todo tipo de aventuras, incluso al amor, pero abrir nuestras casas a personas completamente anonimas podria empujarnos hacia un terror inimaginable.a Samanta Schweblin ha escrito una historia que nos resulta turbadora porque narra nuestro presente como una profecia de la que no podemos escapar.aa

Las casas son siete, y están vacías. La narradora, según Rodrigo Fresán, es "una científica cuerda contemplando locos, o gente que está pensando seriamente en volverse loca". Y la cordura, como siempre, es superficial. Samanta Schweblin nos arrastra hacia Siete casas vacias y, en torno a ellas, empuja a sus personajes a explorar terrores cotidianos, a diseccionar los miedos propios y ajenos, y a poner sobre la mesa los prejuicios de quienes, entre el extrañamiento y una "normalidad" enrarecida, contemplan a los demas y se contemplan. La prosa afilada y precisa de Schweblin, su capacidad para crear atmosferas intensas y claustrofobicas, y la inquietante gama de sensaciones que recorren sus siete cuentos han hecho a este libro merecedor del IV Premio Internacional de Narrativa Breve Ribera del Duero. El jurado, del que formaron parte los escritores Pilar Adon, Jon Bilbao, Guadalupe Nettel, Andres Neuman y que estuvo presidido por Rodrigo Fresan, valoro en Siete casas vacias la precision de su estilo, la indagacion en la rareza y el perverso costumbrismo que habita sus envolventes y deslumbrantes relatos.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER INTERNATIONAL PRIZE 2017A young woman named Amanda lies dying in a rural hospital clinic. A boy named David sits beside her. She''s not his mother. He''s not her child.The two seem anxious and, at David''s ever more insistent prompting, Amanda recounts a series of events from the apparently recent past. As David pushes her to recall whatever trauma has landed her in her terminal state, he unwittingly opens a chest of horrors, and suddenly the terrifying nature of their reality is brought into shocking focus.One of the freshest new voices to come out of the Spanish language, Samanta Schweblin creates an aura of strange and deeply unsettling psychological menace in this cautionary tale of maternal love, broken souls and the power and desperation of family.

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 magazineThe 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.

A visionary novel about our interconnected world, about the collision of horror and humanity, from the Man Booker-shortlisted master of the spine-tingling tale.

MOUTHFUL OF BIRDS

No one writes like Samanta Schweblin Lorrie Moore The strange and explosive new collection from the incomparable imagination of Samanta Schweblin a master of the short story A gripping blend of the raw the astonishing and the tragic every story is as perfectly unexpected as a snare tightly exquisitely wound ready to snap at a touch Here a young father is haunted by the consequences of a moment of distraction tragedy is complicated by the inexplicable appearance of an injured horse an attempted poisoning leads two writers to startling conclusions a lonely woman s charity is rewarded with home invasion And in the shocking opening story a mother surfaces from the depths of the lake behind her house where she saw something awful yet alluring Guilt grief and relationships severed permeate this mesmerizing collection but so do unspeakable bonds of family love and longing each sinister and beautiful Step by step these unnerving stories lure us into the shadows to confront the monsters of everyday life ourselves

La normalité est un malentendu. C'est le constat que fait la grande autrice argentine Samanta Schweblin dans Sept maisons vides, son recueil couronné en 2022 par le prestigieux National Book Award du meilleur livre etranger. Une femme s'introduit dans des pavillons de banlieue pour sauver des objets du mauvais gout de leurs proprietaires, des enfants confies a leurs grands-parents naturistes disparaissent, des vetements sont jetes chaque matin par-dessus une cloture, et une vieille dame est incapable de se souvenir du prenom de son fils - autant de formes de demence qui hantent chacune de ces sept maisons argentines formant le livre. Erreurs impardonnables, silences trop lourds et meprises dramatiques en sont les vrais habitants. Les hommes et les femmes, eux, n'ont pas d'autres choix que de succomber a la folie pour tenter de conjurer leurs peurs et s'en liberer. Avec sa prose aceree, Samanta Schweblin explore dans Sept maisons vides le desarroi du quotidien et la tragedie du domestique. Un chef-d'oeuvre d'humour noir qui nous revele que les frontieres de l'etrange commencent au pas de notre porte. Traduit de l'espagnol (Argentine) par Isabelle Gugnon

They care about you...Theyve infiltrated apartments in Hong Kong, shops in Vancouver, the streets of Sierra Leone, town squares of Oaxaca, schools in Tel Aviv, bedrooms in Indiana. Anonymous and untraceable, these seemingly cute cuddly toys reveal the beauty of connection between far-flung souls but they also expose the ugly truth of our interconnected society.Samanta Schweblins wildly imaginative new novel pulls us into a dark and complex world of unexpected love, playful encounters and marvellous adventures. But beneath the cuddly exterior, kentukis conceal a truth that is unsettlingly familiar and exhilaratingly real.

* An Oprah Daily Book of 2022 *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 magazineThe world of Samanta Schweblins short stories is dark and destabilising. Here, home is not a place of safety but the site of hidden danger, silent menace, unspoken resentment. Picture-perfect doors and spotless windows conceal lives in disarray, slowly unraveling in the face of obsession and fear, jealousy and desire. Unsettling, exhilarating and fiercely original, these prizewinning stories expose raw and uncomfortable truths about the people and places we think will keep us safe, and ask what happens when that promise proves empty. Darker and more tinged with terror than her breakthrough novel, Fever Dream, this is Schweblin at her sharpest and most ferocious. New York Times Book Review
