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.

ListenBook's thoughtful inclusion of chapters, controls, and filters has enhanced my audiobook experience. The book groups feature is a thoughtful addition. It helps me keep my series and related titles together. Good but not great. The narration was competent but lacked the extra spark that makes some audiobooks truly special. Still worth a listen though.
