«Obabakoak» is the novel by Bernardo Atxaga, published by Alfaguara in paperback (384 pages, in Spanish).
Obabakoak brings together the stories of Obaba's inhabitants: a teacher with an epistolary romance, a schoolmistress facing winter solitude, a canon who finds a child in the woods, and a writer who uncovers an enigma in an old photograph. Atxaga celebrates the written word: letters, memories, and books that transport and console.
Originally published in Basque in 1988 and translated into Spanish by the author himself. National Narrative Prize in 1989. Colección Hispánica. Adapted to film as Obaba (2005).
For readers of literary fiction and contemporary narrative, with an interest in Basque literature and magical realism.
Bernardo Atxaga, pseudonym of Joseba Irazu Garmendia, is a Spanish Basque writer and self-translator.
