Thrilling expose of the destruction of the ecology of Argentinian pampas

Fever Dream
By Samanta Schweblin
(Oneworld, £7.99)

 

WHEN does a dream became a nightmare? How to make sense of a world that rapidly turns into an apocalyptic hallucination? In Fever Dream, young Argentinian writer Samanta Schweblin has managed to skilfully weave a story that is at the same time frightening, eerie and totally mesmerising.
