«Historias de Obaba» is a collection of short stories by Bernardo Atxaga, in paperback, published by Punto de Lectura (261 pages, in Spanish).
Three stories make up the volume: a Basque shepherd living in Idaho receives two letters from his homeland; a snake blinds a bird with its gaze until someone intervenes; and two brothers, Paulo and Daniel, share a world where animals speak. Atxaga weaves together memory, identity and rural life with simple, poetic language.
The title was originally published in 1997; this 2001 edition is the fifth volume in the Punto de Lectura collection.
Aimed at readers of contemporary fiction in Spanish and those seeking short stories with a rural setting, memory and a slight symbolic tone.
Bernardo Atxaga, pseudonym of Joseba Irazu Garmendia, is a Spanish Basque writer and self-translator.
