Samanta Schweblin: Good and Evil and Other Stories, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

From the thrillingly original, International Booker-shortlisted author of Fever Dream.

In this explosive third collection, six brand-new, mesmerizing and utterly addictive short stories from the incomparable imagination of one of our most essential authors, Samanta Schweblin. An alchemic 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 title story, a suicidal mother finds new meaning in the dark allure of violence.

These are stories to entrap you with their genius. Once you've been caught, there's no hope of escape.
