Description

Mariana 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.

It’s splurged all over the picture — Adam Thirlwell A mesmerising writer who demands to be read… Her fiction hits with the force of a freight train — Dave Eggers
