520    The brilliant stories in Mouthful of Birds burrow their 
       way into your psyche and don't let go. Samanta Schweblin 
       haunts and mesmerizes in this extraordinary collection 
       featuring women on the edge, men turned upside down, the 
       natural world at odds with reality. We think life is one 
       way, but often, it's not -- our expectations for how 
       people act, love, fear can all be upended. Each character 
       in Mouthful of Birds must contend with the unexpected, 
       whether a family coming apart at the seams or a child 
       transforming or a ghostly hellscape or a murder. 
       Schewblin's stories have the feel of a sleepless night, 
       where every shadow and bump in the dark takes on huge 
       implications, leaving your pulse racing, and where the 
       line between the real and the strange blurs.
