Casi siempre comienza en los hogares. Ya se registran miles de casos en Vancouver, Hong Kong, Tel Aviv, Barcelona, Oaxaca, y se esta propagando rapidamente a todos los rincones del mundo.

Los kentukis 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 Berlin no deberia poder pasearse libremente por el living de otra que vive en Sidney, ni alguien 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 anonimas.

Los personajes de esta novela encarnan el aspecto mas real -y a la vez imprevisible- de la compleja relacion que tenemos con la tecnologia, reavivando la nocion del exhibicionismo y exponiendo al lector a los limites del prejuicio, el cuidado de los otros, la intimidad, el deseo y las buenas intenciones. Kentukis es una novela deslumbrante que potencia su sentido mucho mas alla de la atraccion que genera desde sus paginas. Una idea insolita y oscura, tan sensata en sus reflejos que, una vez que se entra en ella, ya no se puede salir.

A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE
BOOK OF THE YEAR

Her most unsettling work yet - and her most realistic. –New York Times

Named a Best Book of the Year by The New York
Times, O, The Oprah Magazine, NPR, Vulture,
Bustle, Refinery29, and Thrillist

A visionary novel about our interconnected present, about the collision of
horror and humanity, from a master of the spine-tingling tale.

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.
