Blaire Monroe is the only woman I've ever loved, and the only one I've let break my heart. It's been ten years since she ran from this town, chasing a life that didn't include the cowboy next door who blurred the line between best friend and something more. Now she's back. Fresh off a busted engagement and hiding out on her grandmother's crumbling strawberry farm like the past never happened. Like she doesn't still linger in every part of me I've spent years trying to erase. But Blaire isn't the kind of girl you forget.

The characters in Samanta Schweblin's wildly imaginative new novel, Little Eyes, reveal the beauty of connection between far-flung souls but they also expose the ugly truth of our increasingly linked world.

Schweblin has created a dark and complex world that is both familiar but also strangely unsettling, because it's our present and we're living it - we just don't know it yet.

De er overalt. De er her. De er os. De har infiltreret hjem i Hong Kong, butikker i Vancouver, gaderne i Sierra Leone, torve i Oaxaca, skoler i Tel Aviv, soveværelser i Indiana. De er ikke kæledyr eller spøgelser eller robotter. De er rigtige mennesker, men hvordan kan en person, der bor i Berlin, gå frit gennem stuen hos nogen i Sydney? Hvordan kan nogen i Bangkok spise morgenmad med dine børn i Buenos Aires, uden at du ved det? Især når disse mennesker er helt anonyme, ukendte, ikke sporbare.

Kafka møder Brødrene Grimm i argentinske Samanta Schweblins "Fugle i munden". Det er fortællinger, som med humor og suggestiv kraft bevæger sig på grænsen mellem realisme, gys og magisk realisme.

Samanta Schweblin første roman, "Redningsafstand" (da. 2017), var nomineret til the Man Booker International Prize.
