Se recibió de Licenciada en Comunicación Social en la Universidad Nacional de La Plata. Mariana Enriquez (Buenos Aires, 1973) es una periodista y escritora argentina. Written against the backdrop of contemporary Argentina, and with resounding tenderness towards those in pain, in fear, and in limbo, this new collection from one of Argentina's most exciting writers finds Enriquez at her most sophisticated, and most chilling. A woman is sexually obsessed with the human heart a lost, rotting baby crawls out of a backyard and into a bedroom a pair of teenage girls can't let go of their idol an entire neighborhood is cursed to death by a question of morality they fail to answer correctly. The stories in her next collection are as terrifying as they are socially conscious, and press into being the unspoken - fetish, illness, the female body, the darkness of human history - with unsettling urgency. Mariana Enriquez has been critically lauded for her unconventional and sociopolitical stories of the macabre: populated by unruly teenagers, crooked witches, homeless ghosts, and hungry women, they walk the uneasy line between urban realism and horror. Following the "propulsive and mesmerizing" ( New York Times Book Review ) Things We Lost in the Fire comes a new collection of singularly unsettling stories, by an Argentine author who has earned comparisons to Shirley Jackson and Jorge Luis Borges.
