Bird is an astonishing and enchanting novel

As the twentieth century draws to a close

and she calls herself Ruby

through its gritty moments of calculation

and all that remains is a voice asking a question Ellen can't answer but can't get out of her mind: Do you want it

Dangers of Smoking in Bed: Stories Occult & Supernatural Bird is an astonishing and"The beautiful, horrible world of Mariana Enriquez, as glimpsed in The Dangers of Smoking in Bed, with its disturbed adolescents, ghosts, decaying ghouls, the sad and angry homeless of modern Argentina, is the most exciting discovery I've made in fiction for some time."
