New York: Hogarth Press:, 2024. First edition, Hardcover, New in dust jacket, 254 pp. Cover artwork by: Donna Cheng "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 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 no longer exists." First edition, Hardcover, New in dust jacket. Donna Cheng (illustratore).…

Hardcover. Condizione: New. A diabolical collection of stories featuring achingly human characters whose lives intertwine with ghosts, goblins, and the macabre, by "one of Latin America's most exciting authors" (Silvia Moreno-Garcia) "Horror has found its master."--Joy Williams "A collection of brilliant nightmares."--Paul Tremblay "As vivid and essential as Kafka's tales."--Minneapolis Star-Tribune One of the Most Anticipated Books of the Fall: NPR, Time, Vulture, Chicago Review of Books, Paste, Reactor, Publishers Weekly, Lit Hub, Book Riot, Polygon, Our Culture 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.".…

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 confused 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. …
