A SPELLBINDINGLY CREEPY COLLECTION OF SHORT STORIES, FROM AN ARGENTINIAN LITERARY STAR
''The Grimm brothers and Franz Kafka pay a visit to Argentina in Samanta Schweblin''s darkly humorous tales.'' J.M. Coetzee
Spine-tingling and unexpected, unearthly and strange, the stories of Mouthful of Birds are impossible to forget.
The crunch of a bird''s wing.
A cloud of butterflies, so beautiful it smothers.
A crimson flash of blood across an artist''s canvas.
Samanta Schweblin''s writing expertly blurs the line between the surreal and the everyday, pulling the reader into a world that is at once nightmarish and beautiful. An exhilarating tour de force guaranteed to leave the pulse racing.
''This is our world, and sharp-focused, but stripped of its usual meanings... Brutal violence is twisted into horrific, intensely experienced art.'' Guardian
