Spine-tingling &strange, Samanta Schweblin's writing expertly blurs the line between the surreal & the everyday. Translated by Megan McDowell. The brilliant stories in Mouthful of Birds burrow their way into your psyche & don't let go.

The crunch of a bird’s wing. Abandoned by the roadside, newlywed brides scream with rage as they’re caught in the headlights of a passing car. A cloud of butterflies, so beautiful it smothers. Unearthly & unexpected, Mouthful of Birds is a collection of stories that burrow their way into the psyche with the feel of a sleepless night. Every shadow & bump in the dark takes on huge implications, leaving the pulse racing; blurring the line between the real & the strange. Schweblin's stories have the feel of a sleepless night, where every shadow & bump in the dark take on huge implications, leaving your pulse racing, & the line between the real & the strange blur.
