A SUNNY PLACE FOR SHADY PEOPLE by Mariana Enriquez, Megan McDowell [Trans.], read by Lee Osorio, Annette Amelia Oliveira, Sol Madariaga, Maria Liatis
Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Kendra Winchester discuss a new collection of stories from one of Argentina’s most beloved authors, Mariana Enriquez, translated by Megan McDowell. It’s performed by an ensemble cast, and the dark tales often feature the magical, mysterious, and bizarre. One standout includes Lee Osorio’s narration of “A Face of Disgrace,” in which Osorio’s voice is full of the protagonist’s panic and horror as her face begins to disappear. Annette Amelia Oliveira expertly performs “My Sad Dead,” capturing the protagonist’s nonchalance as she explains that she can see ghosts as they wander her neighborhood.
