The Dangers Of Smoking In Bed
Mariana Enriquez, Megan McDowell (translation)Finalist for the 2021 Kirkus Prize For Fiction
Shortlisted for the 2021 International Booker Prize
Following the "propulsive & mesmerizing" (New York Times Book Review) Things We Lost In The Fire comes a new collection of singularly unsettling stories"Mariana Enriquez is a mesmerizing writer who demands to be read. Like Bolaño, she is interested in matters of life and death, and her fiction hits with the full force of a train." - Dave Eggers
Welcome to Buenos Aires, a city thrumming with murderous intentions & morbid desires, where missing children come back from the dead & unearthed bones carry terrible curses. These brilliant, unsettling tales of revenge, witchcraft, fetishes, disappearances & urban madness spill over with women & girls whose dark inclinations will lead them over the edge.
Written against the backdrop of contemporary Argentina, and with resounding tenderness towards those in pain, in fear, and in limbo, this new collection from one of Argentina's most exciting writers finds Mariana Enriquez at her most sophisticated, & most chilling.
"Twelve gruesome, trenchant, & darkly winking stories set in modern-day Buenos Aires, Barcelona, & Belgium... Drawing on real places and events and spinning them out in fantastical ways, she disinters the darkness thrumming under the smooth, bureaucratized surface of urban life, exposing powerlessness, inequity, abuse, & erasure... Insidiously absorbing, like quicksand." - Kirkus Reviews
"Largely it’s insatiable women, raggedy slum dwellers & dead children - those who are ordinarily powerless — who wield unholy power in this collection, & they seem uninterested in being reasonable. And Enriquez is particularly adept at capturing the single-minded intensity of teenage girls... To Enriquez, there’s pleasure in the perverse." - Chelsea Leu, The New York Times Book Review
