«Guárdame bajo tierra» is a collection of five short novels by Ramón Saizarbitoria, published by Alfaguara in hardcover (496 pages, in Spanish).
The five narratives in the book share the motif of burial or exhumation. An old gudari searches for the leg he lost in the war, a writer tries to recover a note, and there are infidelities, a badly buried skeleton and tombs at exorbitant prices. The tone combines dramatic moments, black humor and hilarious scenes.
Translation from Basque by F. Eguia Careaga; original title: «Gorde nazazu lurpean». Winner of the Critics' Prize for Narrative in Basque.
For readers of contemporary fiction and Basque literature who appreciate the blend of drama, irony and humor in stories with an everyday appearance.
