Fever Dream, BookA Novel

by Schweblin, Samanta
Book - 2017
vickiz's rating:
4.5 out of 5 stars
Added May 28, 2017

Comment:

Samanta Schweblin’s vivid snapshot of a nightmare is at its most unnerving when it alights on paralyzing moments of bodily disconnection. What compels the reader to endure the at times unbearable tension of this deceptively slim novella is the equally powerful moments of tender connection and intimacy. My full review is here: http://bookgagabooks.ca/2017/05/29/fever-dream-by-samanta-schweblin-translated-from-spanish-by-megan-mcdowell/
