She is a master of the edge, of the contour, the suggestion. The most brilliant writer of short stories writing today, she now delivers her most haunting, fierce and provocative book.\"--Valeria Luiselli, author of\u003ci\u003e Lost Children Archive\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Schweblin creates characters whose lifelines reach some of the most extraordinary questions ever articulated in our literature.\" --Karen Russell, author of\u003ci\u003e The Antidote \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e Swamplandia!\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"In Samanta Schweblin's hands a single story becomes a theory of just about everything. You can hear all the atoms of the universe bouncing around. Remarkably taut, clear, precise, and yet capable of capturing the extent of our human messiness, these stories are perfect for the times we dwell inside.\" --Colum McCann, author of \u003ci\u003eLet the Great World Spin\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe characters of \u003ci\u003eGood and Evil\u003c\/i\u003e find themselves at a point of no return, dazzled by the glare of impending tragedy. Vulnerable and profoundly human, they become trapped in the instant in which the uncanny has lurched into their lives. Some are transformed, some are isolated, others waver between guilt or tenderness. All of them are riven by uncertainty. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSchweblin's prose uses tension and truth to construct a literary universe in which the monsters of everyday life come so close to us that we can almost feel their breath. Her writing provokes awe and disquiet, a state of alarm that at the same time transports us to a hypnotic world as recognizable as it is strange.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Samanta Schweblin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Knopf Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/16\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 5.50w x 0.53d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780593803103\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/14\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/15\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/04\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSAMANTA SCHWEBLIN won the 2022 National Book Award for Translated Literature for her story collection \u003ci\u003eSeven Empty Houses.\u003c\/i\u003e Her debut novel, \u003ci\u003eFever Dream, \u003c\/i\u003ewas shortlisted for the International Booker Prize, and her novel \u003ci\u003eLittle Eyes\u003c\/i\u003e and story collection \u003ci\u003eMouthful of Birds\u003c\/i\u003e have been longlisted for the same prize.
