Pájaros en la boca y otros cuentos supone la mejor vía de entrada al fascinante universo de quien, tras su nominación al Man Booker International Prize en 2017 con Distancia de rescate, es una de las voces de las letras hispanas con más proyección en el actual panorama literario internacional. La presente compilación incluye veinte relatos ya publicados en ediciones anteriores de sus libros de cuentos y en ediciones internacionales, así como un relato inédito publicado por la revista Granta. La selección, llevada a cabo por la propia autora, configura una antología de su mejor prosa breve hasta la fecha, así como una pieza indispensable de la literatura contemporánea argentina. Heredera de la más prestigiosa tradición literaria, en la línea de Raymond Carver y Flannery O'Connor, Schweblin maneja el lenguaje de una forma extraordinaria, con una prosa sobria y eficaz al servicio de historias que se mueven en el límite entre lo real y lo fantástico. Los cuentos de Schweblin, perturbadores y desconcertantes, plantean un enigma que provoca y atrapa profundamente al lector. ENGLISH DESCRIPCION Mouthful of Birds is the best way to get to know the fascinating work of an author who, after the Man Booker Prize 2017 nomination, has become one of the great Hispanic literary voices to watch out for in the current international landscape. This collection includes twenty previously published stories, and one published in Granta magazine. These stories, chosen by Schweblin, make up a selection of her best short prose to date, as well as an essential piece of contemporary Argentine literature. Following the prestigious literary tradition that Raymond Carver and Flannery O'Connor paved, Schweblin masters the language extraordinarily, with a sobering and real prose that rests between reality and fantasy. Schweblin’s stories, disturbing and disconcerting, pose questions that deeply capture readers.
