A Sunny Place For Shady People

A delicious, diabolical collection of short stories, from the International Booker Prize-shortlisted author of The Dangers of Smoking in Bed and Our Share of Night

Mariana Enriquez's A Sunny Place for Shady People is her first story collection since the International Booker Prize-shortlisted The Dangers of Smoking in Bed. Featuring achingly human characters whose lives intertwine with ghosts, the occult and the macabre, the stories explore love, womanhood, LGBTQ counterculture, parenthood and Argentina's brutal past.

'Superb... a collection of enthralling and sinister stories from one of Latin America's brightest stars' - Telegraph

'Mariana Enriquez [is] one of the best modern practitioners of the form... It is Enriquez's great gift that she can make stories with ugly subject matter so addictive and full of life... Unsettling' - Observer

'At her best, Enriquez has an unrivalled instinct for the subtly appalling image, a Lynchian (David, not Paul) sense of how horror inheres within the benign... Enriquez... is pretty much unbeatable' - Guardian

'This collection has raised the stakes for everybody in the [horror] genre to an entirely new level... enticing... deeply unsettling, darkly humorous and, like all good horror movies and books, you can't look away - even for a second' - NB magazine

'Superb... A collection of enthralling and sinister stories from one of Latin America's brightest stars' - Telegraph

'Seductively gothic... [Enriquez] is at the height of her powers... at her fiercest, she sets down morbid manifestations of misogyny and female desire, rooted by a scythe-sharp, bone-dry humour... this might be her most untrammelled-and certainly her most unwavering-collection yet' - Prospect magazine

'Bleak and often brutal horror' - SFX magazine

'Terse and graphic ... an engaging view of inter-generational trauma and what happens to pain after death' - PA Media (syndicated review)

'At their best these stories superimpose supernational tension on ungovernable emotions' - Daily Mail

'Skin-crawling unease and psychological discomfort... striking... it offers a weighty read about the shadows that haunt humanity' - Straits Times

HIGH waist, correct sizing, ok fabric...NOT SEE THRU!! Cool pants though!
Fit Type: 31" Inseam, Size: Medium, Color: Deep Khaki
If it's a few inches ABOVE my belly button, inseam is correct... but then MED is SUPER baggy in the butt (I have a small butt maybe?) WELL MADE! NOT see thru!! Fabric is kind of stiff, BUT because it's a linen blend, may be beneficial for less wrinkles? 😃 Probably improve if washed. Also tried the small, belly/butt area is better, but super high and a little tight on me. NO off gassing 👏👏👏 Super versatile (dress up or down) Good price.

70%linen, 30% cotton pants
Fit Type: 31" Inseam, Size: X-Large, Color: Khaki
Linen cotton blend, soft & not see through. I'm 5'4" & 157 lbs, ordered a XL size & they fit perfectly, just a but long. Took me 8-10 minutes to hem, & now they are my go-to summer pants! Elastic + drawstring waist & wide legs look very stylish. I'm very pleased, will probably order more in a different color. I love the natural linen color, but since I see fabric thickness will try in white since summers where I live are triple-digits. GREAT PANTS for the price!

These are so-so
Good fit (I’m 5’8”, 215 pounds, and got an XL), cool and light fabric. I wore them on a recent trip to Walt Disney World, and they held up pretty well. They do get wrinkled easily, though, and I was somewhat dismayed to find that the fabric pilled badly in the crotch area (see photo). This was after only one laundering and one vacation where I wore them maybe three days. 😒 I have a feeling that they won’t last for more than one summer season. I expected better for the money, honestly.

Read the size guide!
Fit Type: 31" Inseam, Size: Large, Color: Khaki
Got the light khaki Large. I am 5'7" and 180#'s. Loved the sturdy yet breathable material and the color. But too small. READ THE SIZE GUIDE! I didn't, and now I have to return and reorder. OK. Got the right size. Love 'em. Comfort and fit are great. Not crazy about having to line dry, but it's the price one pays for having natural fabrics.

RED & BLACK PANTS BLEED WHEN DRY AND WILL RUIN WHATEVER THEY TOUCH
Fit Type: 31" Inseam, Size: Medium, Color: Wine
These are very cute and flattering pants, but the first I wore them they turned everything they touched pink. The tops of my sneakers where they touched are now pink. The case of my cell phone that I slipped into my back pocket is now permanently pink. Apparently this is called “crocking” and occurs because there is a heavy excess of "unbound" dye on the surface of the fibers that was never properly rinsed or set during manufacturing. To fix this, I’ll have to go through a two-step process to strip away the excess surface dye and then chemically "lock" what remains. The needed specialized detergent and fixative products will cost another $20 (not to mention the pink sneakers and phone case). The process will take a couple of hours. I suspect the same dry bleeding would happen with other dark colors of these pants. Save yourself the hassle and buy a better, pricier pant in the first place. It’s very disappointing because they fit is great. They do stretch a size or two in the butt and thighs but the waist doesn’t stretch, which is good.
