Unnerving, strange, and skin-prickling are words frequently used to describe leading Argentinian writer Samanta Schweblin’s short stories, which expertly balance literary elegance with emotional depth. Her new collection, Good and Evil and Other Stories, unleashes six new tales of the uncanny, and today she speaks to Kirsty Logan about her startling imagination, and how embracing the eerie can reveal unnameable human emotions.
