ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The graphic adaptation of four stories from one of the most original and surprising horror narratives of the 21st century. The "propulsive and mesmerizing" (The New York Times Book Review) story collection by the International Booker-shortlisted author of The Dangers of Smoking in Bed The short stories of Mariana Enriquez are: "The most exciting discovery I've made in fiction for some time."--Kazuo Ishiguro "Phenomenal."--Vanity Fair "Violent and cool, told in voices so lucid they feel spoken."--The Boston Globe ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Boston Globe, Paste, Words Without Borders, Grub Street, Remezcla, Entropy Electric, disturbing, and exhilarating, the stories of Things We Lost in the Fire explore multiple dimensions of life and death in contemporary Argentina. Each haunting tale simmers with the nation's troubled history, but among the abandoned houses, black magic, superstitions, lost loves, and regrets, there is also friendship, compassion, and humor. In these stories, reminiscent of Shirley Jackson and Julio Cort zar, three young friends distract themselves with drugs and pain in the midst a government-enforced blackout; a girl with nothing to lose steps into an abandoned house and never comes back out; to protest a viral form of domestic violence, a group of women set themselves on fire.
