Description
In the tradition of Raymond Carver and Flannery O'Connor, Schweblin's stories move on the boundary between the real and the fantastic. This selection, chosen by the author, is an indispensible piece of contemporary Argentine literature.
Schweblin's stories have the feel of a sleepless night, where every shadow and bump in the dark take on huge implications; they leave your pulse racing and the line between the real and the strange blurring.

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
En esta historia todo sucede como en sueños, el miedo es una lluvia persistente que se acumula con un peso insostenible sobre la cordura de los personajes. Samanta Schweiblin acomete el género mutante, difícil de precisar, que es la novela corta, y lo hace con sus mejores armas de cuentista, pero templadas con un aliento novelesco, que sabe adentrarse en el conflicto. DISTANICIA DE RESCATE es una presencia inquietante en una obra que, desde sus...
