Mariana Enriquez

Forfatterbiografi

Mariana Enríquez (født 6. december 1973 i Buenos Aires, Argentina) er en argentinsk forfatter, journalist og underviser. Hun skriver litteratur på tværs af genrer, men er især kendt for sin mørke, groteske og ofte uhyggeligt realistiske fortælleform, hvor politisk historie og kropslig frygt flettes sammen. Hendes gennembrud i den internationale samtale hænger tæt sammen med rædselslitteraturen og det, der ofte beskrives som socialt terror- eller “historisk horror”, hvor overnaturlige motiver fungerer som spejlinger af vold, undertrykkelse og traumer. Enríquez’ roman Nuestra parte de noche (2019), udgivet på engelsk som Our Share of Night, vandt Premio Herralde de Novela i 2019. Romanen har bidraget markant til hendes betydning som en af samtidens mest indflydelsesrige spanske-sprogede stemmer inden for litterær gyser, fordi hun forener et nøje fortalt hverdagsnær univers med store, historiske brudflader. Hun har også udgivet noveller og kortprosabøger, herunder samlingerne Things We Lost in the Fire og The Dangers of Smoking in Bed, som er blevet bredt læst og omtalt i den engelsksprogede litterære offentlighed. Som forfatter er Enríquez blevet fremhævet for at omdanne Argentinas nyere historie til fortællinger, der både er spændingsmættede og æstetisk skarpe—og dermed fornyer hun gysersproget i litteraturen på en måde, der rækker ud over genren selv.
