Discussion Topics:

  1. Many of Enríquez’s stories explore female desire, decay, and rebellion. Which story most embodied that tension for you, and why?

  2. How does the author use the supernatural to expose everyday horrors — poverty, patriarchy, obsession?

  3. Were there any moments that made you question what’s “real” versus psychological? How did that ambiguity affect your reading experience?

  4. The collection takes place mostly in Buenos Aires. How does setting shape the tone and themes? Could these stories work the same way somewhere else?

  5. Enríquez has said she writes about “women who don’t behave.” Which character felt most defiant or unsettling to you?

  6. Which story stayed with you the longest, and what emotion did it leave behind — fear, pity, curiosity, something else?

  7. If you could ask the author one question about her writing process or intentions, what would it be?
