Mariana Enríquez

And also I already mentioned this book, but I want to mention it again because I do have a tattoo of the cover on my arm.

Mariana Enriquez's Our Share of Night.

Again, it's another book that employs the best of what literature can offer, but at the same time, it's so disturbing and it's so of the now because it's a book that takes place mainly during the Geordie War in Argentina.

And unfortunately, I feel like it's sort of informing our present political moment in the U.S., but it's also just undeniably terrifying.

Escrita por su píoropo marido.

Eh, no, escrita por Mariana Enríquez.

Ah.

Y está muy buena.

Now, today, this is I would say in my memory, I don't know that you've ever been more excited for a guest.

Yeah, this was when I emailed Mariana Enriquez, our guest today's agent.

I wasn't sure that she would want to come on.

She's a big star.

including the playlist I devised to accompany this book with many surprising songs related to Ursula's life as a listener of music, to the letter that I wrote to educators when Conversations on Writing was added to the Penguin Random House academic catalog, arguing for why this book could be a worthy addition to teachers' syllabi.

In addition, you can choose from a variety of other things as well, including the bonus audio archive with contributions from past guests, whether Lely Long Soldier reading her long poem, King, N.K. Jemisin reading from Jane Jacobs' The Death and Life of Great American Cities, Ted Chiang reading an essay on Silicon Valley's Fear of Superintelligent A.I., or long-form translator conversations, such as those with the translators of Alain Siksu, Jenny Erpenbeck, and Mariana Enriquez, or craft talks by Marlon James and Jeannie Vanasco, songs by Adrienne Marie Brown and Leanne Batasamasek Simpson, and much more.

Or perhaps you want to subscribe as a Milkweed Early Reader, receiving 12 books over the course of a year before they're available to the general public.

You can check it all out, these options and much more at patreon.com slash betweenthecovers.

Chambers is the author of two very popular series, the Wayfarer series and the Monk and Robot series, and I just started reading this one this morning, and I'm loving it already.

Things We Lost in the Fire, four graphic stories by Mariana Enriquez, illustrated by Lucas Nine and translated by Megan McDowell.

Things We Lost in the Fire is an amazing collection of stories from Mariana Enriquez, who writes incredibly scary, amazing, I think I already said amazing, uh, stories, and four of those have been selected to be illustrated in this collection.

The Blood of the Vampire by Florence Marryat.

This was published in 1897, which was the same year that Dracula was published, and this one is considered one of the most revolutionary books of the time because it stars a biracial, bisexual, feminist, psychic vampire.

Um, and Ryan, you also just recorded a- an amazing episode, uh, that we're gonna release right around Halloween.

Yeah, our episode on October 20th, our spooky episode, will be with, uh, Mariana Enriquez, the acclaimed Argentinian, uh, horror writer, and she has a book just out in paperback now, um, all about traveling, uh, to cemeteries called Somebody Is Walking On Your Grave.

Um, and a super fun interview.

I'm a big fan of, of her fiction.

Um, you gotta, you gotta check out your local blueberry lands.

Um, well, folks, this was really fun.

I hope you enjoyed São Paulo, and join us, uh, in two weeks for our special spooky October episode, uh, with Mariana Enriquez, Walking on Graves: World Cemeteries.

Until then, I'm Ryan Davis.
