Trade Review
"Literature often flourishes like certain kinds of plants, between the cracks in walls that gardeners have forgotten to tend. It can spring from the oppressed, impoverished, ignored. An Anthology of Basque Short Stories ... affords a glimpse of one such obscure and interesting literature... Curiously, all these stories explore loneliness. There is no indication that this similarity is intentional. Is it a revelation about the lives of contemporary Europeans? These 14 stories offer readers a treat from writers who speak a strange but beautifully expressive language."Mark KurlanskyAuthor of The Basque History of the World
