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."

Se Sven sabia tudo, se o artista era um diligente operário, e cada segundo de seu tempo era um passo na direção de um destino irreversível, então ela era exatamente o contrário. O último ponto no outro extremo dos seres deste planeta. A inartista. Ninguém, para ninguém e nunca nada. A resistência a qualquer tipo de concretude. Seu corpo se interpunha às coisas, protegendo-a do risco de chegar, qualquer dia, a alcançar algo.

Kentuky

[frammento]

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

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."
