Kentukis (Little Eyes) (Samanta Schweblin) "They've infiltrated homes in Hong Kong, shops in Vancouver, the streets of in Sierra Leone, town squares in Oaxaca, schools in Tel Aviv, bedrooms in Indiana. They're everywhere. They're here. They're us. They're not pets, or ghosts, or robots. They're real people, but how can a person living in Berlin walk freely through the living room of someone in Sydney? How can someone in Bangkok have breakfast with your children in Buenos Aires, without your knowing? Especially when these people are completely anonymous, unknown, unfindable.
The characters in Samanta Schweblin's brilliant new novel, Little Eyes, reveal the beauty of connection between far-flung souls—but yet they also expose the ugly side of our increasingly linked world. Trusting strangers can lead to unexpected love, playful encounters, and marvelous adventure, but what happens when it can also pave the way for unimaginable terror? This is a story that is already happening; it's familiar and unsettling because it's our present and we're living it, we just don't know it yet. In this prophecy of a story, Schweblin creates a dark and complex world that's somehow so sensible, so recognizable, that once it's entered, no one can ever leave."
Oedipus Rex (Sophocles) "The terrible knowledge that he has murdered his father and married his mother drives Oedipus to stab out his eyes rather than continue to see and know."

Have you read...
note: If you did not finish but feel you read enough to form an opinion, you may choose a ‘Yes’ option instead of 'Partly' (e.g., Yes, I didn’t like it). Interpret "neutral or complicated" however you like, I intended this category to be a broad option between like and dislike.
A young woman named Amanda lies dying in a rural hospital clinic. A boy named David sits beside her. She’s not his mother. He’s not her child. Together, they tell a haunting story of broken souls, toxins, looming environmental and spiritual catastrophes, and the ties that bind a parent to a child. Fever Dream is a nightmare come to life, a ghost story for the real world, a love story and a cautionary tale. Samanta Schweblin creates an aura of strange psychological menace and otherworldly reality in this absorbing, taut, unsettling novel. Fresh and startling, this is like nothing you’ve ever read before.

Se Sven sapeva tutto, se l’artista era una pedina con un percorso tracciato e ogni minuto del suo tempo era un passo verso un destino ineluttabile, allora lei era esattamente il contrario. L’estremo opposto nella gamma degli esseri umani di questo pianeta. L’inartista. Nessuno, per nessuno e mai niente. La resistenza a ogni tipo di realizzazione. Il suo corpo si frapponeva tra lei e le cose proteggendola dal rischio di poter mai raggiungere qualcosa.
Samantha Schweblin, Kentuki

La literatura y el cine. Samanta Schweblin
La literatura no necesita acercarse al cine para ser visual, porque la literatura cuenta con algo todavía mucho más concreto y poderoso que la imagen, me refiero a la cabeza del lector. Por ejemplo, si el lector lee ‘se miró los zapatos’, conecta intuitivamente con imágenes muy concretas de su presente y su pasado, probablemente elija él mismo un color, un material, un peso, un momento particular…

What he felt at that moment was the complete opposite of fear—it was something close to madness, but with the absolute certainty he was taking the right step. The exciting anguish of recognizing that what one is doing will ultimately change something important. To free his father was to free them all.

Journal 3 (Alex Hirsch) "Ford Pines travels to Gravity Falls, becomes obsessed with unraveling its paranormal mysteries, makes a deal with an all-seeing demon to achieve his dreams only to discover he's been duped, and descends into violent paranoia about being watched and keeping secrets."
