I finished the story last night and I'm still magnificently unsettled. As I read I was gripped by a suffocating sense of dread that never let up. The story is told in dialog, and neither of the participants in the conversation are fully connected with a rational world of cause-and-effect. Nothing is ever completely explained. The novel asks you to banish any thoughts like "what is going on?" from your mind as you read, and to yield to its unhinged and unexplained storytelling style.

As in a real fever dream--as in a nightmare--the events in the novel move in shuddering and unpredictable ways, from the mundane to the terrifying and back again. Always though events are closely anchored to one or another universally human fear: the fear of paralysis; the fear of abandonment; the fear of dying; the fear that one's children are in danger; the fear of being trapped.

suggests that this novella represents a new genre of storytelling--the reviewer writes:

"The genius of 鈥淔ever Dream鈥� 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."

Unlike the reviewer though I recognized strong similarities between Schweblin's work here and contemporary authors () and (; ).

Each of these authors writes in a straightforward, disarmingly affectless tone, about horrific events suddenly invading the typical lives of typical people. In all of these works, even as the stories become more and more terrifying, the calm rational voice of the narrator remains. It's a very disturbing combination. And somehow it reflects perfectly my experience of daily life in the 21st century, which might be summarized as--"how can this be real?"

thoroughly enjoyed the way samanta schweblin took inspiration from the use of harmful pesticides in argentina,,,,using horror to explore current issues is truly where it鈥檚 at. i am also always down for a horror story revolving around a mother/child dynamic. however, despite all the arguably good things about this novella, i never experienced the tense, feverish (ha, bc title) feelings that others described going through while they read. soooo, would def rec, but wish it had fucked with me more i guess.

Qu茅 buena es la Shweblin! Tiene un centro de tensi贸n en todo el libro que no te suelta. Su manera de narrar esta historia, en alg煤n lugar entre el suspenso, el miedo, el terror, es m谩s que nada porque la estructura que maneja es muy buena! Desde el principio est谩s escuchando a todos los personajes, y todo el tiempo sabes que algo va a pasar. Muy bueno!

1/6 from Booker International Prize Shortlist.

Engrossing, Weird, Well written and amazingly structured, Dark, Confusing, Upsetting, Hallucinating, Intoxicating, Crazy, Surreal, Captivating, did I say Weird?


I followed my friends鈥� recommendation to read this short novel in one sitting and I can confirm it is the best way to go through it. It is an essential requisite to enjoy the novel, to enter and remain in the intoxicating atmosphere the author weaves around the reader. The spell would have been destroyed if I had approached it any other way. I needed 2 uninterrupted hours to read this and I thought a plane trip to Rome to be the perfect opportunity. The bonus was a turbulent flight which elevated the scary feeling of the book to new heights, so to say.

I was complaining in one of my last reviews that dull books are the hardest to review. That was before Fever Dream. How do I review a book that it is still a mystery to me, one week after I finished it. I find it very difficult to make sense of this freighting and crazy ride that Schweblin took me on.

鈥�They鈥檙e like worms. What kind of worms? Like worms, all over. It鈥檚 the boy who鈥檚 talking, murmuring into my ear. I am the one asking questions. Worms in the body? Yes, in the body. Earthworms? No, another kind of worms. It鈥檚 dark and I can鈥檛 see. The sheets are rough, they bunch up under my body. I can鈥檛 move, but I鈥檓 talking. It鈥檚 the worms. You have to be patient and wait. And while we wait, we have to find the exact moment when the worms come into being. Why? Because it鈥檚 important, it鈥檚 very important for us all. I try to nod, 鈥�

This is how the novel starts. These are one of the strangest opening lines that I鈥檝e ever read. Amanda is lying on a bed, waiting to die and next to her is a child, David. The novel is structured as a dialogue between the two of them, set in the present about Amanda鈥檚 recollection of events carried out a few days before. Those events are set during a vacation she takes with her daughter, Nina, to the country side and involves her neighbor Carla and his son, David, the one that is coordinating the interview from the Amanda鈥檚 bedside.

The more we advance in the story, it becomes increasingly frightening and surreal. I was feverishly turning the virtual pages to find an explanation/resolution to what was happening, to understand who the worms were. The ending left me more puzzled than the beginning but the suffocating and intense journey was worth it.

I can identify three major themes of the novel. 1st one is about the destructive role of industrial agriculture and pesticides. This theme is also discussed by the author in an :

"This story could be set anywhere. In fact, the first time I heard about pesticides and their terrible consequences was through a documentary about this subject in France. But, mainly because of corruption, Latin America has the worst agrochemical regulations and agreements. And Argentina, in particular, is one of the biggest importers of soya鈥攐ne of the products more related with pesticides. We spread this soya all over the world; it is the base of a lot of our food. Soya is in everything: cookies, frozen fish, cereal bars, soups, bread, all kinds of flour, even ice cream!"

Second theme is probably the most powerful, and it would probably have an even bigger impact for a reader that is a parent. It revolves around parent鈥檚 anxiety and the 鈥渟afe distance鈥� a mother allows between her and her child. Some parents see danger everywhere and are obsessed to protect their children and sometimes this obsession is not enough to save the child. Schweblin addresses this distance and the origin of evil 鈥渢he worm鈥� in the same interview

鈥淚 tried to give a subtle meaning, really subtle, about this idea that if there is an end of the world, it will begin with a mom. The tie with David is that when things become so bad that it鈥檚 all disasters in the world, when everything is so terrible, the small drama between two or three characters might be really important. It might be the beginning of something really deep, where a simple question helps you know where the evil starts鈥攁nd if you know where the evil is, you can fight against it. When that happens, everything becomes dangerous. In some ways, that鈥檚 why the 鈥渞escue distance鈥� gets broken: Everything in the world Amanda inhabits is dangerous. 鈥�

3rd theme is what gives the novel the surreal, horror like atmosphere. It deals with the transmigration of the soul and you will have to read the novel to see what this is all about.

I know I do not make a lot of sense but believe me, it is hard to. You will understand if you read the novel, which you should.

"Distancia de rescate" es una novela inquietante que te aplastar谩 en el sill贸n del que no podr谩s levantarte hasta terminar de leer. No te preocupes, es cortita.

Una narraci贸n sobre una obsesi贸n y una culpa en un contexto de desastre ecol贸gico. El cuidado, la vigilancia del hijo, su seguridad, se transforma en una obsesi贸n malsana para una madre que asiste al relato ponzo帽oso, lleno de remordimientos y at谩vicas supersticiones de otra madre que por una vez no respet贸 la justa (?) distancia de rescate (esa distancia m谩xima con el hijo que nos permitir谩 salvaguardarlo de todo peligro).

Baste con estas notas. El lector debe tener el placer de ir descubriendo las claves de la narraci贸n, de ir acostumbrando la vista a la espesa niebla que empieza cubri茅ndolo todo y que nos confunde haci茅ndonos ver monstruos y peligros all谩 donde fijemos la mirada. Debemos seguir el ritmo que tan h谩bilmente nos va marcando Schweblin. Ella nos acompa帽ar谩, no siempre corta la distancia de rescate, conduci茅ndonos sin apenas indicaciones, aunque todas relevantes, nada es superfluo, hacia el destino que nos tiene reservado sin que sepamos con certeza si el camino que recorremos es de terror, fant谩stico, on铆rico o es otra cosa o todas juntas.

Un relato que nos llega 煤nicamente a trav茅s de una de las madres y a instancias de una voz que apremia a contar. La autora sabe como contagiarnos la prisa, la impaciencia de esa voz por saber, y que en nosotros toma la forma de necesidad por hacer pie, por abandonar el terreno fangoso, nada firme, por el que nos lleva (y ojal谩 no descubr谩is muy pronto las claves de un relato quiz谩s demasiado supeditado a las inseguridades del lector). Y junto a esa impaciencia, Schweblin consigue magn铆ficamente provocarnos el desasosiego ante una cat谩strofe que advertimos inminente, ante un peligro que no sabemos muy bien por donde aparecer谩 y en qu茅 consistir谩.

Disponte a la lectura con la mente libre y ligera, los ojos muy abiertos y dispuesto a ser t煤 quien cierre el relato, quien elija las claves que lo concluya.

Having read this a few years back, it still haunts me not unlike a fever dream for which the English translation鈥攅xpertly accomplished by Megan McDowell鈥攊s named. Schweblin鈥檚 Fever Dream is a masterclass is tension and best read in a single sitting, which is easily accomplished due to a short length and prose that propels the narrative through an increasingly eerie and surreal story shoveling dread upon dread like filling in a grave. It is a story of tormented souls crawling in and out of claustrophobic corridors of bodies that makes the world around us all feel as if the walls are slowly closing in and that, no matter how hard you stretch out, safety is just beyond grasp. This Argentinian novella was, in fact, originally titled Distancia de rescate鈥攐r 鈥渞escue distance鈥濃€攁nd the imaginary rope between a mother and child marking the distance between catastrophe and comfort is stretched to the breaking as each sentence of this taut tale compounds in tension. It is a parental nightmare, a horror watching a child tumble into disaster and being unable to save them as Schweblin simultaneous crafts an eco-horror in which we all watch doom befall the earth and the manmade terrors enacted upon the land. A perfect little read, one that will have you turning pages with white-knuckles and holding your breath as alarm amalgamates always just beyond reach of saving.

3.5 Strange, so very, very strange, but intriguing and unique. The title, Fever Dream, and indeed this reads like a disturbing dream. A young woman and mother is dying in hospital, a young boy David at her side, not her son but he wants her to remember how she got there and where her young daughter is, what append to her?

First translated novel from this Argentinean author, it is a novel of sparse prose, but unrelenting tension. David tries to keep Amanda on point, to remember only what is important but even dying she needs to understand things her way, go over it all, despite her safety distance with her daughter, this still happened. Like a dream it often seems unreal but the message the novel conveys is very real, a warning of things, dangers that cannot be taken back, the very real harm they cause.

This one will not be for everyone, but it flows very quickly, under 200 pages as well. Very different in its presentation but because of it memorable

More like a nightmare than a dream. A perfect nightmare. You know how when you try to describe one but it always ends up sounding strange and ridiculous, and not scary to the listener?

(I have to get out, I keep seeing a red circle spinning in front of me, a mouth at the centre going wah, wah, wah, wah... and I know if I don't get out I will DIE.)

Well, Samanta Schweblin doesn't have that problem. She captures the concept of a nightmare perfectly, and put it to page. The grotesque, the way time stretches and skips, the flat affect of those present, the deep fear, the deepest fear.

(There she is, my aunt sitting in a booth at the Chinese restaurant. I passed the twins singing and swinging in the mall. I'm hungry but there's only water. I complain. My aunt, displeased, pulls out a white bucket from under the table. Live snake heads are hurled at me, hissing, cartoonish.)

There are worms, or things that feel like worms. There are deformed and dying children. Animals who drink from a stream and keel over. The mother of Nina is laying in a hospital, about to die. She is trying to make sense of it in a conversation with David, a boy who hasn't been himself for quite some time.

(I'm in a home for the elderly. The home is on fire. I move in slow motion. Flames everywhere. Heat. I get out, and see the culprit is a skeleton. He laughs and laughs from the fourth story window. He throws lit matches at me, a jack-o'-lantern, a candle. He's not worried - he'll get me.)

It might be about your child dying on your watch. It might be about the deadly effects of pesticides. It might be about the absurdity of making sense of anything at the end of your life. The story is short, it leaves questions, plenty of room for raised eyebrows and frustration and interpretation. Also room for admiration, identification, that "Oh, yes, god, I've felt that at the pit of my stomach. Oh god, I feel that now."

(It's soft. It's heavy. It's a huge, white rabbit with terrifying pink eyes. Or are they red. It is smothering me. It's sitting on my face. I can't breathe. Rabbit fur in my mouth, rabbit muscle, no air, it's as big as a pillow, bigger, I can't see, can't breathe, can't move, so much blood behind my eyes.)

This was a DNF for me. I guess I could call it fantasy or perhaps a paranormal story. I read the first ten pages or so and went back and re-read them trying to figure out who was who and what was happening. It starts out as story of a young boy who is seriously ill. A 鈥渉ealer鈥� promises to cure him but warns his mother that some of the boy鈥檚 personality will be changed and shared with other kids. Apparently a young girl starts to take on some of the boy鈥檚 personality. By page 40 I was still so confused that I went back again, skimming, to try to figure out who was who鈥檚 mother, who the narrator was talking to and what was going on. I felt very lost in the story and that it was becoming too much work to try to figure it out so I gave up. So I鈥檓 not giving it a rating. In fairness, I note that GR ratings give it a 3.7 which is 鈥渙k鈥� and some GR friends gave it a good review. It was also on the long list for the Man Booker International prize. Just not for me.

That was weirdly fascinating. Absolutely worth a read. But confusing, very much so. But in a good way.

My thoughts are all over the place for this one. While I really enjoyed reading this book, it still left me feeling fairly confused during and afterwards. Usually I try to write my reviews as quickly as possible after finishing a book but this time I couldn't have done that because I seriously needed some time to gather my thoughts.

This is one of those books that isn't really "about" anything. I mean, yes, on the surface it is about a woman in a hospital talking to a boy that isn't hers about what has happened to her and her daughter. But that isn't really it, this is just the first layer of meaning you can unpack from this short but impactful book. It is about a mother's fear, about voodoo, about trust, about losing everything, about fever dreams, and other dreams, about nothing at all. The book is structured as a dialogue between Amanda and the boy and as such it is wonderfully circular and weird and just like a conversation one might have (minus the worms).

This is a book that practically begs a reread, there is so much to unpack, so much to understand and this understanding didn't happen for me the first time around. I mean this in the best way possible. I love how highly metaphorical this weird little book is and I think there just is something really special about the whole experience. I definitely understand why it is longlisted for the Man Booker International and I am excited to see more people reading this as a result. It is absolutely worth it - if you're okay with weirdness and thing being just beyond the grasp of reason.

Have you ever had a dream where you are trying to run through something sticky and thick like mud, bubble gum or quicksand and you can鈥檛 quite get moving and you鈥檙e surrounded by misery, sadness and it鈥檚 all a bit murky and mysterious?

Well reading Fever Dream by Samanta Schweblin felt just like that.

The story involves a boy called David visiting a woman called Amanda in a small rural hospital. It is essentially a conversation between the two of them. Something bad has happened or is happening to Amanda, but we don鈥檛 know exactly know what.

This is a very scary tale, and some scenes were really, really frightening (to me). It鈥檚 not about gore, monsters, murder or creatures 鈥� the fright is kind of low lying, mysterious, unseen. But something IS wrong. I really don鈥檛 want to spoil the experience by saying anymore.

But the thing that struck me about this book the most, is the pacing and the clever way the author manages this. For me, it was two paced, a story told in two gears 鈥� one of the characters in the conversation is in a rush, the other wants to take time. I was stuck in this 鈥榥o-mans land鈥� where I wanted to hear more details slowly, but I also felt the need to hurry along as if there was some sort of imperative to do so. It honestly was the weirdest feeling. Truly strange. In fact, writing about it now is making my arms tingle and my chest and stomach feel funny. In some ways a bit like you may feel during a nightmare.

For a book to achieve such a visceral result in the reader is very clever, this author knows what she鈥檚 doing.

I have been searching for a terrifying experience for a long time 鈥� all within the safe confines of my house, with my pup and a cuppa by my side of course 鈥� and this one certainly delivered. I will have to seek out more work by this Argentinian author.

A great book.

Excelente novela (驴relato?) con tintes esot茅ricos y lecci贸n ecol贸gica de fondo (驴seguro?). Que algo tan corto sea tan sumamente inquietante me deja muerta. Tampoco puedo resistirme a la tem谩tica madre-hija ni al veneno. Uf, el veneno. No conoc铆a a la autora, pero me dicen por el pinganillo que su futuro brilla. Me alegra habernos visto las caras.

A fast read, and while I read it, I did find it compelling, but the ending is totally dissatisfying and very odd. Maybe I missed something crucial, however I felt there was such a build-up and such tension, I was expecting some great revelation at the end. A talented writer (and translator), but perhaps better suited to the short story, or even poetry. Her language is moving and lyrical, but the story feels incomplete to me.

Do you ever read two (or more) completely unrelated books, in quick succession, that seem 鈥� somehow, by coincidence 鈥� spiritually identical? This has happened to me recently with Iain Reid's and Samanta Schweblin's Fever Dream. (I'm tempted to add Jen George's short story collection too, since it's insistently dreamlike and illogical, but it's too irreverent to be a true match for the others.) Both Ending Things and Fever Dream are very short novellas that can easily be read in their entirety in an hour or two. They share a sense of shifting nightmare logic and a horrible compulsive darkness that makes you burn through the pages in search of an answer. Both feel predominantly like horror stories despite the absence of many of the genre's typical hallmarks and the fact that they are not packaged as horror.

Fever Dream opens with a disorientating conversation; I had to read the first page several times. Eventually it becomes apparent that the narrator, Amanda, is lying in a hospital bed and answering the questions put to her, with some urgency, by a boy named David. She is telling a story, or rather recounting things that have happened to her, while David is trying to identify 'the important thing', 'the exact moment when the worms come into being'. What worms? Well, exactly. It doesn't seem likely they are actual worms, but in this aptly-named novella you can never be sure.

A narrative emerges, taking place just a few days earlier. Amanda and her young daughter, Nina, meet David and his mother, Carla, while on holiday. Carla claims there is something wrong with David, and then she, in turn, tells Amanda a story. When David was three, he was poisoned after drinking contaminated water from a stream. Carla took him to 'the green house', where a local woman performed a 'migration': sending David's soul into another's body so he could continue to live. Since then, his body has been inhabited by the spirit of another. So Carla says. What happens to Amanda and Nina after this is what leads to Amanda's hospitalisation and David's demand that they pinpoint 'the exact moment', 'before time runs out'. Though some aspects of the story seem meaningful to Amanda, David dispassionately skips over anything he deems unimportant. Some details are recurring motifs: Carla's gold bikini, Nina's cuddly toy mole. Then there's the matter of the 'rescue distance', Amanda's obsessive idea of how far she can safely be from her daughter in case of an emergency.

It's quite a strange thing to read a story where you fear the ending but feel a desperate need to get to it. Fever Dream made me feel sick, but I can't tell you why. It really is like a nonsensical dream from which you wake with a great sense of dread, as though you've had a terrible nightmare, even though the details weren't particularly horrifying in themselves. I'm really not sure I understood it, and reading other reviews, including those from professional critics, I'm not convinced many other people did either. It teases some dreadful shock but never shows its hand. In the end, that lack of an answer, the fruitless search for understanding, is the real horror.

Acabo de leer un relato malrollero y adictivo a la par que inquietante. Pero no solo eso, sino que tambi茅n es bastante asfixiante, retorcido, opresivo, potente, angustiante, aterrador... y podr铆a seguir; que conste que lo digo muy enserio. Justo as铆 es como Samanta Schweblin se convierte en esas escritoras a las que yo le leer铆a absolutamente todo lo que publique, cosa que he comprobado con esta novela corta.

La historia est谩 fuertemente enmarcada por la intriga y el suspenso psicol贸gico, y lo trabaja de una manera que se te hace amena y adictiva. La poca extensi贸n de esta novelette es la raz贸n de que una vez que lo cojas no puedas soltarlo hasta su envolvente y aterrador desenlace. En fin, que te lo lees rapid铆simo y como lector asistes a una conversaci贸n bastante inc贸moda y asfixiante entre Amanda y un ni帽o peque帽o llamado David; dos personas que est谩n conectadas a ra铆z de otros personajes y situaciones que no quiero revelar y que ellos poco a poco desentra帽aran en conjunto. Para eso, hay que leer la historia y a medida de que la conversaci贸n se va profundizando conocemos los escabrosos detalles que permiten que cada quien le de su sentido al relato contado.

El eje de la historia est谩 puesto b谩sicamente sobre la tem谩tica de la maternidad y esa distancia de rescate que es muy necesaria ante situaciones en peligro para los hijos, aunque esto llevado un poco al lado insano de la obsesi贸n. Y s铆, hay un peligro latente e inminente en esa atm贸sfera extra帽a y tensionante en el que se ambienta el relato; de hecho, hay un desastre ecol贸gico de buenas proporciones. Adem谩s, est谩 esa parte de realismo m谩gico en el que lo fant谩stico toma relevancia en la historia. Pero sobretodo, lo m谩s interesante es la sensaci贸n de que en la medida que te vas sumergiendo en la historia de Amanda y Nina y de Carla y David lo que se encuentra uno son m谩s preguntas que respuestas. Es una trama en la que todo se basa en suposiciones y en la pluralidad de conclusiones a las que se puede llegar con lo poco que se cuenta. Una aut茅ntica maravilla por lo angustioso e inquietante que resulta pero m谩s a煤n por ese malestar que te deja; el desasosiego de no saber qu茅 es lo que ocurre con exactitud.

Fever dream was interesting and original.

When reading I felt the need to complete it in one sitting to get the full effect of the writing and the story. As it鈥檚 a fairly short book and easy to read, this was easy to do.

However I was hoping for it to all come together and make sense at the end and unfortunately it just didn鈥檛.

I couldn't put this down. It's a quick read anyway, but still the story draws you in from the first page. There's so much going on, and Schweblin's delivery is perfectly paced as the plot develops. There is an eerie, something's-not-quite-right tone which presides over the story, and subtle reminders of this pop up every once in a while. I feel that the ending was a little rushed; in a way it finishes the story, but also leaves the reader with a lot of questions.

Hmmm, how to review Fever Dream? I don't think I've ever read anything like it before. It has the most incredible sense of unease running through its twisting narrative. I had no idea what was going on for most of the novel and I'm still not entirely sure I do. But it's not a story I will forget in a hurry.

Amanda, a holidaymaker in rural Argentina, lies in a hospital bed. David, the creepy son of a local woman named Carla, sits nearby and presses Amanda to recount the events that have led her here. She can't see or move. David says it's because of the worms and that "we have to find the exact moment when the worms come into being . . . It鈥檚 very important, it鈥檚 very important for us all." Amanda tells him about the recent conversations she has had with his mother, which reveal a distressing tale. She knows she is about to die in this dark hospital room. But what are these worms David keeps talking about? What is the "important thing" he constantly refers to? And what on earth has become of her young daughter Nina?

Maternal anxiety is one of the main themes of Fever Dream. Amanda talks about "the rescue distance" throughout the story, a continuous mental calculation she makes of how long it would take to rescue Nina in an emergency. Carla initially felt the same concern for David's well-being but ever since the terrifying incident that occurred, she feels like she has lost him. He seems like a different person, she says. Amanda is eternally conscious of Nina's safety but it only takes one horrifying, seemingly innocuous moment for her world to unravel.

I've since discovered that Schweblin is a big fan of David Lynch and especially of Twin Peaks. His influence is strong in this novel, especially in the shifting border between dreams and reality. She says that the "intense feeling that something strange can happen" is something she wants to transfer to her readers. Well she certainly succeeds on that level. I can't remember the last time I've read a novel so unsettling. There are hints at an ecological root to the horror that unfolds, but most of this disturbing tale left to our own interpretation. Fever Dream is a unique and daring debut - its haunting, innovative storytelling marks Samanta Schweblin out as a writer of enormous talent.

En este relato largo o novela corta (su autora es una fiel defensora del cuento y aqu铆 lo demuestra) encontramos el mejor ejemplo de que no hacen faltan muchas p谩ginas para crear una gran historia. Potente, desgarradora y muy perturbadora. Esos son los adjetivos que definen esta peque帽a pero intensa obra sin g茅nero claramente definido, aunque se podr铆a englobar en el terror con realismo y su punto fant谩stico, que devorar谩s sin darte apenas cuenta con un nudo en el est贸mago.

En Distancia de rescate Samanta nos sumerge en un paisaje buc贸lico de la pampa Argentina donde predomina el curanderismo. Un paisaje que se torna aterrador y t贸xico cuando una amenaza ecol贸gica se cierne sobre sus habitantes.
En forma de relato nos adentraremos en la conversaci贸n de dos madres sobre sus respectivos hijos.
Por un lado, Carla le narra en el coche a Amanda lo sucedido en el pasado con su hijo David, un ni帽o realmente inquietante. En este relato conoceremos tambi茅n a su marido Omar y su pasi贸n por los caballos.
Y por otro lado, tenemos el relato de Amanda y su adorable hija Nina. A la cual siente constantemente en el borde de la llamada distancia de rescate, esa distancia que a veces est谩 tan tirante que nos asfixia.
David en el presente ser谩 el que insista a Amanda a recordar lo sucedido, a tirar de ese hilo, a ahondar en los detalles de la historia, a escarbar como gusanos hasta llegar donde empez贸 todo.
Todas las que hemos experimentado la odisea de la maternidad sentiremos ese desasosiego que tan bien nos sabe transmitir su autora.
Una pluma que te atrapa y no te suelta hasta su sorprendente final.

Hay que fijarse en cada detalle y a煤n as铆 no podr谩s evitar quedarte con cara de p贸quer al llegar al final.
Muchas inc贸gnitas que tendr谩s que digerir.
Muchas preguntas a las que tendr谩s que buscar respuestas.
Un estilo que puede que no contente a todos porque su narraci贸n despista y hay que estar con los cinco sentidos puestos para no perder detalle.
Me ha dejado mal cuerpo. Esa es mi conclusi贸n final.

驴D贸nde est谩n Nina y su madre Amanda? 驴Qu茅 ocurri贸 en ese pueblo?
Ese horror latente est谩 presente desde la primera p谩gina y esa ambig眉edad en el relato de Amanda nos despistar谩 en m谩s de una ocasi贸n.听
Todas estas preguntas tienen su respuesta en el interior de esta novela de menos de 130 p谩ginas.

鈻禪na novela inclasificable para reflexionar sobre los miedos de la maternidad en un entorno asfixiante de desastre ecol贸gico.

馃敻"Lo llamo distancia de rescate, as铆 llamo a esa distancia variable que me separa de mi hija y me paso la mitad del d铆a calcul谩ndola, aunque siempre arriesgo m谩s de lo que deber铆a."

Seriously.......

This little book is like a shotglass full of crazy.

Bottoms up and brace for the effect.

Amanda and her young daughter, Nina, are renting a cottage near a horse ranch. It's a very different place from their usual summer retreats. Both of them linger by the pool. The warm sun and the soft breeze lull them into a blissful state.

But the presence of another female, Carla, causes them to turn their heads in her direction. She is barefoot and wearing a shiny gold bikini. Carla opens the car door and slides behind the wheel. Amanda and Nina find themselves inside the vehicle, too, as Carla begins to tell them a very complex and unsettling story about her son, David.

As the story unfolds further, we find Amanda recanting her own story to this elusive David while laying in a hospital bed. There is a certain urgency in the telling as if Amanda's hours are numbered......

Fever Dream is the first novel of Samanta Schweblin and a finalist for the Maio Vargas Llosa Prize and winner of the Tigre Juan Prize. It's been translated by Megan McDowell. Schweblin is originally from Buenos Aires. But it is the Buenos Aires connection that intrigues me. Perhaps the tale within is a composite of regional folklore twisted and diced with haunting recollections of things "that go bump in the Buenos Aires night". There's also the flavor of sights and sounds that hold no particular meaning except that these elements give off a whiff of crawling decay that sticks to your fingertips.

Be aware of one thing: Fever Dream will certainly not be for everyone. Either you get it or you don't. There's not much in between. Is it the fever that rages within the story or is the creepy story itself carried on the back of a dream? Only one way to find out.

Freaky. As. Hell. At only 150-some large-print pages, this should probably be read in one sitting for maximum effect, the spell shouldn't be broken (I read nearly all of it last night and finished it just now). The momentum just keeps carrying you forward, making it hard to stop even if you wanted. Brilliant. Full review to come.
----------------------------------------------
A woman named Amanda lies feverish and dying in a hospital bed, and she has no idea how she got there. A young boy is her only companion, whispering in her ear, guiding her to some important moment that she needs to remember. Something to do with worms. Getting inside her. She tells him the story of the past few days, reliving the seconds as if they were happening in the present. She recounts vacationing with her young daughter in a small town, where she (Amanda) becomes friends with a woman next door who has a frightening story about how her little boy is not really her little boy: he looks just like her son, but he's something else entirely.

Wondering how all this leads to Amanda's current dying state is what keeps the reader turning the pages. Not only that, but there's an underlying creepiness throughout, embedded within the pages. There were several times when I was majorly freaked-out even when nothing scary was happening on the surface. There's just an eeriness to the prose itself that slowly grows and grows, which separates this from a typical well-told horror story, and trying to figure out just what the hell was going on made me stay up til 5:30 in the morning to try and finish it (alas, I had to finish the last few pages a few hours later when I woke up, which thankfully didn't ruin the effect).

Highly recommended for fans of literary horror, or for anyone in the mood for a perfectly-paced mystery with ambiguous supernatural goings-on.

4.5 Stars.

I tried to enjoy this but honestly the writing and story telling is way to "out-there" for me to enjoy. And while i would give it a higher rating because apparently people love the strangeness of this i personally don't get it?


Now before anyone says i just don't "get" the story, i don't understand what it is about.
I understand its a woman telling a little boy a story -keeps getting interrupted by him which completely throw me out of it when i was finally feeling i was understanding a bit of what was happening by the way!- and decides to make it a story about something that happened with her mother.

But the writing is so not enjoyable to me, the story is so very strange. And yes it is the most fitting title ever in existence since the first book was published, but it didn't work for me since it makes no sense.

And i am sorry but for me to be able to enjoy and actually give a book a better rating? i have to at least feel like i understand what the heck the author wanted to tell me instead of just reading... well words that make absolutely no sense as most fever dreams do. but i need more from a book. I need an actual story, i need an actual plot line that makes sense, and one that i can understand without having to try and having to annualise the entire book from the first sentence until the last.

I am reading for pleasure and this was sadly not enjoyable at all.

Chasing the Dragon on a Horse with No Name*

Updated 4/21/17: Congrats to Ms. Schweblin on Fever Dream being shortlisted yesterday, 4/20/17, for the 2017 Man Booker International Prize.

Nearly 3 months out from reading this brief novel, and I remain haunted every so often by visions of a horse's head and of squirming worms.


REVIEW:
Perhaps the ominous chevaline cloud over the novel, with certain players exposed to some undescribed toxin (maybe via the grass), is meant to represent the drug heroin given that the terms "horse" and the Spanish"caballo" are two of this deadly drug's most common street names.

Don't misunderstand me. Even if my attempt at a little decryption is correct, it does not make a wit of difference to my comprehension of what transpired. Though I can't help but feel that flying through this short novel was perhaps like "chasing the dragon," so to speak.

I was thoroughly consumed with this especially quick read from start to finish. In her highly original debut, Ms. Schweblin, Buenos Aires-born, Berlin-based author, is most impressive in her setting a miasmal mood, with a sometimes-fragmented conversation between a mother and a neighbor's son under the exigency of apparently imminent death, and in her masterly pacing by infusing the book with a thrumming current of mysterious dread (including, e.g., chimeric worms) and a drumming from around midpoint that rapidly progresses to a furious pace.



I'd say reading this is a worthy experience, particularly if you enjoy chasing dragons or you can pick up a copy at the local library.



*All apologies to the band America for using their 1972 hit to add the Chinese slang phrase for inhaling the vapors from heated morphine or heroin.

Latin Amerikal谋 ilk kez okudu臒um bir kad谋n yazar谋n, hem kitab谋n ad谋 hem de kapak tasar谋m谋yla ilgin莽 bir kitab谋.

脟ok farkl谋 bir kurgu ve gerilim dozu ipini m眉kemmel y枚neten bir yazar, olduk莽a iyi bir anlat谋m ile bu s谋rad谋艧谋 kitap kendisini zorla okutturuyor.
