Fever Dream
by Samanta Schweblin
A young woman named Amanda lies dying in a remote Argentinian hospital. A boy named David sits beside her.
She's not his mother. He's not her child.
At David's ever more insistent prompting, Amanda recounts a series of events from the apparently recent past, a conversation that opens a chest of horrors. Together, they tell a haunting story of broken souls, toxins, and the power and desperation of family.
A chilling tale of maternal anxiety and ecological menace, Fever
Dream is a modern classic. Samanta Schweblin's unforgettable
debut is a prescient warning about our manipulation of the natural
world, and an unforgettable exercise in literary suspense.
