«La vida anterior dels dofins» is the novel by Kirmen Uribe, published by Edicions 62 in paperback (320 pages, in Catalan).
A Basque writer settles in New York to research two suffragists, Rosika Schwimmer and Edith Wynner, while recalling his childhood in a coastal village. The narrative interweaves that memory with the Trump era and the pandemic, and draws on the Basque legend of dolphins as people transformed by love for the lamias.
It belongs to the El Balancí collection (number 852) and includes a translation by Pau Joan Hernández.
