![]() ![]() The first vignette of Samanta Schweblin’s visceral sophomore novel Little Eyes introduces us to these creatures, that we will later learned are called kentukis, animals that look “simple and artless ” they look “similar to a football with one end sliced off so it could stand upright,” with a camera “installed behind its eyes and sometimes it spun around on three wheels hidden in its base, moving forward or backward.” Imagine your favorite fluffy teddy bear, with wheels, following you around or you getting to see the world through the eyes of this bear as the transport that provides it to you. You ask yourself why do you continue to be a literary masochist, knowing damn well that you will open this book regardless and dive right in? The first chapter shows the dangers of the latest technological craze that invades the world we are about to inhabit. You remember the immersive experience that Fever Dream was when you read it and how it took a while to rattle the atmospheric tendrils it left behind. ![]()
