Mariana Enriquez's short story collection "A Sunny Place for Shady People" presents a vivid examination of violence and despair, highlighting how horror permeates both political and domestic spheres.
In the opening story, a grim neighborhood showcases children engaged in drug dealing and a narrator grappling with loss, embodying the pervasive effects of violence and apathy in society.
Enriquez's narratives showcase a poignant shift from overt political violence to a more insidious domestic horror, as characters navigate lives marred by trauma and societal neglect.
The portrayal of a neighborhood meeting where calls for extremity against immigrants go unchallenged underscores a frightening normalization of violence within contemporary Argentine society.
