🚨EXCLUSIVE JACKET REVEAL VIA OPRAH DAILY🚨
“A rising global literary star,” writes Hamilton Cain of Oprah Daily, “the Argentine writer Mariana Enriquez has responded to the horrors of the recent past with a singular twist on horror. Next February, Hogarth, an imprint of Penguin Random House, is publishing Our Share of Night, her stirring, speculative epic, brilliantly translated by Megan McDowell and blending the sweep and innovation of Namwali Serpell’s The Old Drift with the dystopian dread of Cormac McCarthy’s The Road and Stephen King’s chills and thrills. In an exclusive, Oprah Daily reveals the off-kilter, graphically seductive cover.”
“This novel took two years to write, but probably all my life to conceive,” Mariana Enriquez tells Cain. “It's about the history of my country, it's about family and heritage and bonds, it's about parenthood and friendship. It has magic. It has my obsessions. It's queer at its heart. Though it has plenty of horror and supernatural elements, it’s also deeply personal and weirdly realistic.”
Donna Cheng, Random House’s associate director of art, tells Cain about the process of coming up with our jacket design: “We wanted a central image that was bold and haunting both alluring and evocative of the novel's dark themes. The hand is immediately captivating, and the flames dissolving into the abyss allude to a pivotal moment in the book. It all came together with a gothic font that complements the sharp claws, against a background of a fading dusk-blue sky.”
Already hailed as “one of the best novels of the 21st century” (Paul Tremblay) and “a magnificent accomplishment” (Alan Moore), Our Share of Night is the masterwork by “one of Latin America’s most exciting novelists” (Silvia Morena-Garcia). This is Mariana’s first novel to be translated into English and none of this would be possible without the enormous gifts of the celebrated translator Megan McDowell.
We are massively grateful to Hamilton Cain and Oprah Daily for sharing our jacket with the world. Link to the full Oprah Daily story is in our bio.
Hogarth will publish Our Share of Night on February 7th, 2023.
