Recensioner

Casi siempre comienza en los hogares. Ya se registran miles de casos en Vancouver, Hong Kong, Tel Aviv, Barcelona, Oaxaca... y se está propagando rápidamente a todos los rincones del mundo. No son mascotas, ni fantasmas, ni robots. Son ciudadanos reales, y el problema -se dice en las noticias y se comparte en las redes- es que una persona que vive en Berlín no debería poder pasearse libremente por el living de alguien que vive en Sídney, ni una persona que vive en Bangkok desayunar junto a tus hijos en tu departamento de Buenos Aires. En especial cuando esas personas que dejamos entrar a casa son completamente anónimas.

Los personajes de esta novela encarnan el costado más real -y a la vez imprevisible- de la compleja relación que tenemos con la tecnología, renovando la noción del vouyerismo y exponiendo al lector a los límites delprejuicio, el cuidado de los otros, la intimidad, el deseo y las buenas intenciones. Kentukis es una novela deslumbrante que potencia su sentido mucho más allá de la atracción que genera desde sus páginas. Una idea insólita y oscura, tan sensata en sus reflejos que, una vez que se entra en ella, ya no se puede salir.

A quick page turner that transmits an indistinct dread, horror, and anxiety, whose general outline you can make out but not well enough to find a deliverance from. Merry Christmas!

Series Info/Source: This is a stand alone book. I borrowed this on audiobook from my library.

Thoughts: I really enjoyed this. I love how the story is unwound and how there is an intense sense of dread over the story. You are constantly trying to figure out how the characters got to the present state they end up being in as the story of the past is slowly unwound.

The story follows a young woman named Amanda who is dying in a hospital. She is being questioned by a boy named David about the worms. The story Amanda unwinds is terrifying and engrossing in a strangely ambiguous way.

My only disappointment in this story was how nothing was really explained or wrapped up. I think that was part of the point of the story but I personally prefer a bit more closure to my stories.

I listened to this on audiobook and the audiobook was very well done. I would recommend listening to this on audiobook if you enjoy audiobooks.

My Summary (4/5): Overall I enjoyed this a lot. It is an eerie and suspenseful story with some horrific elements that touches on things like climate change, pollution, and family. The story ends up being fairly ambiguous and doesn't give the reader a lot of closure, but the way it was unwound was fascinating and engrossing in a horrifying way. I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I was going to and plan on checking out other stories/books by Schweblin.

Fever Dream is the perfect title for this book. I'm still wondering what I just read but I loved it.
