International Booker Prize-shortlisted Samanta Schweblin visits London for a conversation to mark the launch of her first collection in 10 years, Good and Evil and Other Stories.
The six unnerving stories in Schweblin’s latest collection is each as unpredictable as a snare: tight and sharp. Ranging from tragedy to love, the sinister to the beautiful, this is a virtuoso collection from an incomparable imagination.
Samanta Schweblin won the 2022 National Book Award for Translated Literature for her story collection, Seven Empty Houses. Her debut novel, Fever Dream, was shortlisted for the International Booker Prize, and her novel Little Eyes and story collection Mouthful of Birds have been longlisted for the same prize. Her books have been translated into more than forty languages, and her stories have appeared in English in The New Yorker, The Paris Review, Granta, Harper’s Magazine and elsewhere. Originally from Buenos Aires, Schweblin lives in Berlin.
Schweblin will be in conversation with writer, editor and translator Daniel Hahn. The event will be followed by an audience Q&A and a book signing.
