Hardcover. Condizione: As New. Condizione sovraccoperta: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 230 pages. Published in 2019. The author's first retrospective collection of short stories and second book to be translated into English. One of Samanta Schweblin's finest achievements. The first appearance of the title in English and in…the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run by Riverhead as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Samanta Schweblin's "Pajaros en la boca" in a felicitous English translation by the indefatigable Megan McDowell. Eerie-ness, shock, and tension unleashed by the Berlin-based Argentine author's characteristic high-pitched intensity, as she continues to forge what amounts to a reinvention of the tale and short story genres: What they really are, what they can further achieve and surpass. "Burrow their way into your psyche and don't let go. Haunts and mesmerizes in this extraordinary collection featuring women on the edge, men turned upside down, the natural world at odds with reality. We think life is one way, but often, it's not. Our expectations for how people act, love, fear can all be upended. Each character must contend with the unexpected, whether a family coming apart at the seams or a child transforming or a ghostly hellscape or a murder. Stories that have the feel of a sleepless night, where every shadow and bump in the dark take on huge implications, leaving your pulse racing, and the line between the real and the strange blurs" (Publisher's blurb). "What makes Schweblin so startling as a writer, what makes her rare and important, is that she is impelled not by mere talent or ambition but by vision" (The New York Times). An absolute "must-have" title for Samanta Schweblin collectors. This title is a great collection. This is one of very few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing (American) still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws or are in multiple subsequent printings. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce copy thus. Winner of the National Book Award for "Seven Empty Houses" in 2022. One of the most brilliant writers of our time. A fine copy.

Soft cover. Condizione: As New. Condizione sovraccoperta: None, As Issued. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 257 pages. Published in 2019. The author's breakthrough debut collection of short stories and first book to be translated into English. One of the most brilliant literary debuts of our time. Uncorrected Proof. Advance Reading Co…py. Published in a small and limited one-time-only print run by Catapult Press as a softcover original only for the exclusive use of the publisher and author. The ISBN is the same as the regular trade edition. The Uncorrected Proof is now rare. Presents, in its earliest-state format, Paulina Flores' "Que Verguenza" in a felicitous English translation by the indefatigable Megan McDowell. Literally, "How shameful!". The Chilean writer's brilliant first collection of stories, catapulting her to global acclaim. "Nine mesmerizing stories that present us with a Chile we seldom see in fiction: Port cities marked by poverty and brimming with plans of rebellion; apartment buildings populated by dominant mothers and voyeuristic neighbors; library steps that lead students to literature, but also into encounters with the other 'arts' - of seduction, selfdelusion, and sabotage. In these pages, a father walks through the scorching heat of Santiago's streets with his two daughters in tow. Jobless and ashamed, he takes them into a stranger's house, a place that will become the site of the greatest humiliation of his life. In an impoverished fishing town, four teenage boys try to allay their boredom during an endless summer by translating lyrics from The Smiths into Spanish using a stolen dictionary. Their dreams of fame and glory twist into a plan to steal musical instruments from a church, an obsession that prevents them from anticipating a devastating ending" (Publisher's blurb). "A brilliant book that captures the volatility of misunderstandings, the moment when failures matter less than the need to share them" (Alejandro Zambra). An absolute "must-have" title for Paulina Flores collectors. This is a copy of the Uncorrected Proof/Advance Reading Copy, indicated as such on the Front and Back Covers. As far as we know, this is the only copy available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Precedes and should NOT be confused with the regular trade edition, which is a softcover only as well. Copies available online have serious flaws. ALL are in multiple subsequent printings. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. One of the most brilliant writers of our time. A fine copy.

Soft cover. Condizione: As New. Condizione sovraccoperta: None, As Issued. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 225 pages. Published in 2023. The author's first book to be translated into English. One of the most sensational literary debuts of our time. The First Softcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subseq…uent printings, of which there are many. Published in a small and limited first print run by The Hogarth Press that sold out quickly. The First Edition Thus is now scarce. Presents, in its First Edition Thus format, Mariana Enriquez's "Las cosas que perdimos en el fuego" in a dazzling English translation by the indefatigable Megan McDowell. Announced the arrival of an innovative and original writer in contemporary world literature. In a way that Hitchcock would have envied, Enriquez deploys, layers, and transforms conventional, "realistic" narratives with horror and ghost-story surprises to describe - and make sense of - Argentina's recent catastrophic history. That is, the Satanic military dictatorship that committed genocidal mass murder of its own citizens. How she goes about this, in story after story, so brilliantly, without any straining for effect whatsoever, is what makes her masterly stories such pure pleasure to read and re-read. The Disappeared ("Los desaparecidos") suddenly reappear; Mariana Enriquez, in a deft literary stroke, wills them back to life effortlessly and compellingly. No wonder a Nobel Laureate was ecstatic: "The beautiful, horrible world of Mariana Enriquez, with its disturbed adolescents, ghosts, decaying ghouls, the sad and angry homeless of modern Argentina, is the most exciting discovery I've made in fiction for some time" (Kazuo Ishiguro). "Redefined my sense of Buenos Aires, a city I love dearly" (Dave Eggers). Includes a new short story, "Julie", which appears in this edition for the very first time. It is stunning. An absolute "must-have" title for Mariana Enriquez collectors. This title is a great collection. As far as we know, this is the only copy of the First Softcover Edition/First Printing (American) available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws or are in multiple subsequent printings. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. One of the most brilliant writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER MARIANA ENRIQUEZ AND PATRICIO PRON TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0451495128. no.

Hardcover. Condizione: As New. Condizione sovraccoperta: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 257 pages. Published in 2024. The author's fourth book to be translated into English. One of Mariana Enriquez's finest achievements. The first appearance of the title in English and in the United States. Precedes and should not be confuse…d with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. Presents Mariana Enriquez's "Un lugar soleado para gente sombria" in another dazzling English translation by the indefatigable Megan McDowell. Twelve intensely beautiful short stories: Literature that reimagines, not just evokes, reality. The Living are relentlessly haunted by The Dead, who symbolically and concretely represent those who were once living, real people rather than the proverbial "creatures from the underworld". By now, the only meaningful way to evoke the reality of Argentina - and by extension, Latin America - is through what is conventionally and in Mariana Enriquez's case, somewhat lazily labeled as "horror stories". Enriquez's stories are horrifying. But it is Argentina - its past, history, culture, and existential legacy - that is horrific, shading contemporary life, "where the line between good and evil no longer exists". "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" (Mariana Enriquez). "As vivid and essential as Kafka's tales" (Minneapolis Star). An absolute "must-have" title for Mariana Enriquez collectors. This title is a brilliant collection. This is one of very few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing (American) still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws (because they were read) or are in subsequent printings. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce copy thus. One of the most brilliant writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER MARIANA ENRIQUEZ AND PATRICIO PRON TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0593733258. no.
