Spike Island’s excellent Novel Writers series presents Samanta Schweblin and acclaimed debut Fever Dream (Oneworld)

The author will discuss the novel which was shortlisted for the Man Booker International Prize in 2017.

It is described as “a nightmare come to life, a ghost story for the real world, a love story and a cautionary tale. One of the freshest new voices to come out of the Spanish language and translated into English for the first time, Samanta Schweblin creates an aura of strange psychological menace and otherworldly reality in this absorbing, unsettling, taut novel.”

And The New Yorker says: ‘The genius of Fever Dream is less in what it says than in how Schweblin says it, with a design at once so enigmatic and so disciplined that the book feels as if it belongs to a new literary genre altogether.’ – The New Yorker
