«Obabakoak» is the short story collection by Basque writer Bernardo Atxaga, published by Ediciones B in paperback (512 pages, in Spanish).
The stories take place in a small Basque village that functions as a mythical setting, where the real and the fantastic intermingle. Through different voices and characters, the work explores memory, identity, love and death with evocative prose, while connecting seemingly independent stories within a single narrative universe.
The work originally appeared in 1988 and won the Critics' Prize for Narrative in Basque and the National Prize for Narrative.
It is a title for readers of contemporary fiction, short stories and Spanish literature, as well as for those wishing to approach Basque literature.
Bernardo Atxaga, pseudonym of Joseba Irazu Garmendia, is a Spanish Basque writer and self-translator.
