«Obabakoak» is the novel by Bernardo Atxaga, published by Punto de Lectura in paperback (464 pages, in Spanish).
The stories of Obaba intertwine: a geography teacher relives an epistolary romance, a young teacher faces winter solitude, a canon crosses paths with a lost child, and a writer discovers a secret in an old photograph. The work celebrates the value of letters, memories, and books as a refuge from solitude.
It won the Premio Nacional de Narrativa and the Premio de la Crítica de Narrativa in Basque; it was adapted into a movie as Obaba.
For readers of literary fiction, short stories, and magical realism set in the rural Basque Country.
Bernardo Atxaga, pseudonym of Joseba Irazu Garmendia, is a Spanish Basque writer and self-translator.
