«El abc de Byobu» is a narrative work by Ida Vitale, published by Lumen in paperback with flaps (104 pages, in Spanish).
Starting from the folding screen, which in Japanese refers to «pantalla» and «viento», Ida Vitale weaves an alphabet of the everyday and the small. Byobu is not so much a character as a state of consciousness: a verbal disposition that turns the simple into literary matter, in a warm universe completed in the reader's imagination.
First edition published in October 2025, within Lumen's Narrative collection. Ida Vitale is a winner of the Cervantes Prize.
For readers of narrative and poetic prose, especially those interested in current Latin American literature.
Ida Vitale is a Uruguayan poet, translator, essayist, lecturer and literary critic.
