The good evil

The ambiguous territories of human reality, in their most beautiful but also most disturbing manifestations, such as the guilt that is born from pain and brings a breath of life and justifies it, are the humus of the new short story collection by the acclaimed Argentine writer Samanta Schweblin.

Situated in the limbo between the real and the dreamlike, the recognizable and the strange, these six narratives open themselves, without certainties or securities, to the enchantment of the extraordinary, to the hauntings of everyday life, creating tension and eagerness in those who read them.

Critical acclaim:

«In the experience of reading the great Schweblin, there is a before and an after, and the memory of something that will never leave us again.»
Enrique Vila-Matas

«No one writes like Samanta Schweblin. Her stories are unique… wonderfully unpredictable and captivatingly strange.»
Lorrie Moore

«Written with a precision that borders on the prodigious, the six short stories of The Good Evil by Samanta Schweblin expand the boundaries of what is understood by “short story” and confirm her as one of the most remarkable writers in contemporary literature.»
Raúl Zurita
