«Obabakoak» is a collection of short stories by Bernardo Atxaga, published by Ediciones B in paperback (496 pages, in Spanish).
Stories set in Obaba, an imaginary territory with a Basque air where the real and the fantastic mix: a geography teacher evokes an epistolary love, a schoolteacher endures a winter in solitude, and a writer finds a revealing detail in an old school photo. Atxaga explores memory, identity, and the power of the word.
This Spanish-language edition was published in 1989 in the Tiempos Modernos collection, with a prologue by Ibon Sarasola and a translation by Bernardo Atxaga. The work received the Premio Nacional de Narrativa in 1989.
Work of interest to readers of contemporary Basque fiction, short story, and magical realism with a rural atmosphere.
Bernardo Atxaga, pseudonym of Joseba Irazu Garmendia, is a Spanish Basque writer and self-translator.
