Burning Bones (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781913640538)

Expertly translated into English by Amaia Gabantxo--arguably the most prestigious contemporary Basque to English translator--Hezurren Erretura [Burning Bones] is a companion piece to Miren Agur Meabe's A Glass Eye, a collection of short stories that complement the universe of Meabe's novel about absence as an engine for creation, about what we make out of the things we lose--her eye, in the author's case, or love, or the innocence of youth. Burning Bones takes us through the universe of the character at the heart of A Glass Eye, a fictional version of Meabe: her childhood, teenage years, and adulthood, the experiences that marked her. Whereas A Glass Eye is a novel, Burning Bones is a collection of brief narratives. This two pieces are complemented by a third one that Miren Agur Meabe published in 2020 to complete what she considers a triptych, a poetry collection called Nola Gorde Errautsa Kolkoan [Holding Ashes in the Heart]. In this triptych, the author experiments with the possibilities of form and genre, inviting readers into an imperfect woman's journey into artisthood.
