Book description
Translated by Megan McDowellA delicious, diabolical collection of short stories, from the International Booker Prize-shortlisted author of The Dangers of Smoking in Bed and Our Share of NightMariana Enriquez's A Sunny Place for Shady People is her first story collection since the International Booker Prize-shortlisted The Dangers of Smoking in Bed. Featuring achingly human characters whose lives intertwine with ghosts, the occult and the macabre, the stories explore love, womanhood, LGBTQ counterculture, parenthood and Argentina's brutal past.A neighbourhood is besieged by vengeful ghosts; a woman's face gradually disappears; a hotel is haunted by a girl found dead in its water tank; a riverbank is populated by birds that used to be women. Vivid and unnerving, these stories confirm Enriquez as one of Latin America's most original imaginations.

Kill Switch
Listening to audiobooks while gardening has made my outdoor time even more relaxing. Bookmarking on ListenBook makes it easy to pick up where I left off – no more searching for my spot! Noise reduction and voice tone changing are brilliant features. Solid performance, but not outstanding. The narrator did a fine job, though their tone was a bit monotonous at times. The story itself was engaging enough, but I wouldn’t call it unforgettable. An unobjectionable but unexceptional audiobook experience. The narrator's performance was serviceable and the audio quality was fine, but nothing about the production particularly stood out or elevated the material. It was decent background listening.
