The characters in Samanta Schweblin's wildly imaginative new novel, Little Eyes, reveal the beauty of connection between far-flung souls but they also expose the ugly truth of our increasingly linked world.

Schweblin has created a dark and complex world that is both familiar but also strangely unsettling, because it's our present and we're living it - we just don't know it yet.

De er overalt. De er her. De er os. De har infiltreret hjem i Hong Kong, butikker i Vancouver, gaderne i Sierra Leone, torve i Oaxaca, skoler i Tel Aviv, soveværelser i Indiana. De er ikke kæledyr eller spøgelser eller robotter. De er rigtige mennesker, men hvordan kan en person, der bor i Berlin, gå frit gennem stuen hos nogen i Sydney? Hvordan kan nogen i Bangkok spise morgenmad med dine børn i Buenos Aires, uden at du ved det? Især når disse mennesker er helt anonyme, ukendte, ikke sporbare.

Kafka møder Brødrene Grimm i argentinske Samanta Schweblins "Fugle i munden". Det er fortællinger, som med humor og suggestiv kraft bevæger sig på grænsen mellem realisme, gys og magisk realisme. En bog, der udvider feltet for, hvad litteraturen kan, og som i samme hug undersøger relationer mellem mennesker og mellem mennesker og natur. Samanta Schweblin første roman, "Redningsafstand" (da. 2017), var nomineret til the Man Booker International Prize.
