Product Description
Review
Literature often flourishes like certain kinds of plants, between the cracks in walls that gardeners have forgotten to tend. It can spring from the oppressed, impoverished, ignored. An Anthology of Basque Short Stories . . . affords a glimpse of one such obscure and interesting literature. . . . Curiously, all these stories explore loneliness. There is no indication that this similarity is intentional. Is it a revelation about the lives of contemporary Europeans? These 14 stories offer readers a treat from writers who speak a strange but beautifully expressive language. --Mark Kurlansky, Author of The Basque History of the World

Product Description
Translated into English from one of Europe's oldest languages, these tales - written by some of the best Basque authors of our age - tell of the urban and rural; of history and modernity; of love, art, society and the spiritual world. A compilation of short stories from fourteen contemporary Basque writers, Strange Language offers a unique insight into Basque society and literature. It includes stories by Bernardo Atxaga, Lourdes Oñederra, and Iban Zaldua, among others.
