Enriquez mariana (Oltre 1300 risultati)

Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. A diabolical collection of stories featuring achingly human characters whose lives intertwine with ghosts, goblins, and the macabre, by Buenos Aires's sorceress of horror (Samanta Schweblin, The New York Times) Entertaining, political and exquisitely gruesome, these stories summon terror against the backdrop of everyday horrors. . . . A queen of horror delivers more delightfully twisted stories.--Los Angeles Times As vivid and essential as Kafka's tales.--Minneapolis Star-Tribune LONGLISTED FOR THE ANDREW CARNEGIE MEDAL FOR EXCELENCE IN FICTION - A BEST BOK OF THE YEAR: TIME, THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY, PUBLISHERS WEKLY, AND>THE TELEGRAPH - A>BEST HOROR BOK OF THE YEAR (SO FAR): NEW YORK TIMES BOK REVIEW AND>VULTURE On the shores of this river, all the birds that fly, drink, perch on branches, and disturb siestas with the demonic squawking of the possessed--all those birds were once women. Welcome to Argentina and the fascinating, frightening, fantastical imagination of 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 water tank 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 no longer 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, A Sunny Place for Shady People showcases Enriquez's unique blend of the literary and the horrific, and underscores why Kazuo Ishiguro, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, calls her the most exciting discovery I've made in fiction for some time.…

Hardback. Condizione: Good. An enchanting, highly personal tour of some of the most iconic cemeteries of the world--part travelogue, part memoir, part "excursions through death," by the author of Our Share of Night and "queen of horror" (Los Angeles Times) "Not a travelogue so much as a grave-a-logue, Somebody is Walking on Your Grave is an exuberant, witty wander among the dead. You could not have a better friend to take you by the hand and lead you for a long traipse among tilting tombstones, dank crypts, and chilling history."--Joe Hill "Enriquez knows cemeteries are the repositories of life's pain and beauty. I felt more alive as I read."--Caitlin Doughty, New York Times bestselling author of Smoke Gets in Your Eyes: And Other Lessons from the Crematory "A perfect book for almost anyone."--The Washington Post "An immersive testament to [Enriquez's] genius."--Los Angeles Times "An eccentric and enlightening peek into how memorialization happens across the world."--Publishers Weekly, starred review "Fascinating . . . Enriquez hides a celebration of life in a book about death."--Booklist, starred review A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: TIME, ELECTRIC LIT, CHICAGO PUBLIC LIBRARY * One of Publishers Weekly's Top 10 New Releases of the Fall * A Most Anticipated Book of the Fall: Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times, Literary Hub, Ms. Magazine, Bustle, Book Riot, Publishers Lunch Cemeteries have great stories and sometimes I steal some for my books. Mariana Enriquez--called by The New York Times a "sorceress of horror"--has been fascinated by the haunting beauty of cemeteries since she was a teenager. She has visited them frequently, a goth flaneur taking notes on her aesthetic obsession as she walks among the headstones, "where dying seems much more interesting than being alive." But when the body of a friend's mother who was disappeared during Argentina's military dictatorship was found in a common grave, Enriquez began to examine more deeply the complex meanings of cemeteries and where our bodies come to rest. In this rich book of essays--"excursions through death," she calls them--Enriquez travels through North and South America, Europe and Australia, visiting Paris's catacombs, Prague's Old Jewish Cemetery, New Orleans's aboveground mausoleums, Buenos Aires's opulent Recoleta, and more. Enriquez investigates each cemetery's history and architecture, its saints and ghosts, its caretakers and visitors, and, of course, its dead. Weaving personal stories with reportage, interviews, myths, hauntology, and more, Somebody Is Walking on Your Grave is memoir channeled through Enriquez's passion for cemeteries, revealing as much about her own life and unique sensibility as the graveyards and tombstones she tours. Fascinating, spooky, and unlike anything else, Enriquez's first work of nonfiction, translated by the award-winning Megan McDowell, is as original and memorable as the stories and novels for which she's become so beloved and admired.…

Hardback. Condizione: Good. The lauded Argentine author of What We Lost in the Fire returns with enthralling stories conjured from literary sorcery (O: The Oprah Magazine), in the tradition of Shirley Jackson and Jorge Luis Borges. Mariana Enriquez has been critically lauded for her unconventional and sociopolitical stories of the macabre. Populated by unruly teenagers, crooked witches, homeless ghosts, and hungry women, they walk the uneasy line between urban realism and horror. The stories in her new collection are as terrifying as they are socially conscious, and press into being the unspoken--fetish, illness, the female body, the darkness of human history--with bracing urgency. A woman is sexually obsessed with the human heart; a lost, rotting baby crawls out of a backyard and into a bedroom; a pair of teenage girls can't let go of their idol; an entire neighborhood is cursed to death when it fails to respond correctly to a moral dilemma. Written against the backdrop of contemporary Argentina, and with a resounding tenderness toward those in pain, in fear, and in limbo, The Dangers of Smoking in Bed is Mariana Enriquez at her most sophisticated, and most chilling.…
