Little Eyes Signed First Edition Reference
Kentukis (2018; English: Riverhead Books, 2020, translated by Megan McDowell) imagines a world where networked toy animals called “kentukis” allow strangers to observe each other’s lives in real time. The novel explores surveillance, loneliness, exploitation, and connection through interconnected vignettes spanning multiple countries. Schweblin’s most overtly technological work, it reads as both speculative fiction and social commentary.
