Good and Evil and Other Stories
INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER âą A haunting, unforgettable collection of tales by Samanta Schweblin, winner of the 2022 National Book Award for Translated Literature and three-time Booker Prize finalist
"The stories of âGood and Evilâ are powerfully evocative and unsettling. They seem to hover, indeed like fever dreams, between the reassuring familiarities of domestic life and the stark, unpredictable, visionary flights of the unconscious.â âJoyce Carol Oates, The New York Times Book Review
âThe most brilliant writer of short stories writing today, she now delivers her most haunting, fierce and provocative book.ââValeria Luiselli, author of Lost Children Archive
"Schweblin creates characters whose lifelines reach some of the most extraordinary questions ever articulated in our literature." âKaren Russell, author of The Antidote and Swamplandia!
âRemarkably taut, clear, precise, and yet capable of capturing the extent of our human messiness, these stories are perfect for the times we dwell inside.â âColum McCann, author of Let the Great World Spin
The characters of Good and Evil 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 driven by uncertainty.
Schweblinâs 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.
