Description
"The seven houses in these seven stories are empty. Some are devoid of love or life or furniture, of people or the truth or of memories. 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, a child's first encounter with a dark choice or the fallibility of parents. This was the collection that established Samanta Schweblin at the forefront of a new...

Description
Entre la noche insomne y la vigilia, los cuentos hipnóticos de Pájaros en la boca horadan lo real con una crueldad aterradora. Crudos, extraños, insólitos: lo raro se impone en ellos a veces con una sospecha trivial y silenciosa. Otras, con una densidad violenta e irreversible, como en una película de David Lynch, o en una pesadilla kafkiana. Un cavador fanático, un hombre solo con su mujer muerta en el piso de la cocina, la ruta, ruidos, cacerías...
