“Perverse solutions” – Mouthful of Birds by Samanta Schweblin

"The collection’s translation by Megan McDowell, who also translated Schweblin’s celebrated debut novel, Fever Dream, is seamless. These stories are unmoored from specific places or locations. Their inhabitants embark on dread-filled journeys that build and compound the anxiety of their existence. Expectations are mocked and attacked; anticipated payoffs disappoint. The newest addition to the household of the neighbours is less likely to be an infant than a man-attacking beast..." - Chris Oleson reviews Mouthful of Birds by Samanta Schweblin
