«Obabakoak oder das Gänsespiel» is the German edition of Bernardo Atxaga's novel published by Unionsverlag in paperback (388 pages).
Set in the fictional village of Obaba, in the Basque Country, the work brings together interconnected stories in which love, loss, memory and the identity of a rural world cross paths with the fantastic. Atxaga deploys a poetic prose that also reflects on the craft of writing and on Basque literature.
