«Obabakoak» is Bernardo Atxaga's collection of short stories, published in 1988, in paperback (402 pages, in Spanish).
Obabakoak brings together interlinked narratives set in the rural Basque world, blending the everyday with the fantastic. Through connected characters and situations, Atxaga explores memory, identity and lack of communication, and introduces a reflection on Basque writing and literature.
The work received the Critics' Prize for Narrative in Basque (1988) and the National Narrative Prize (1989), and served as the basis for the film Obaba, by Montxo Armendáriz.
For readers of contemporary Basque fiction and short stories where the real merges with the legendary.
Bernardo Atxaga, pseudonym of Joseba Irazu Garmendia, is a Spanish Basque writer and self-translator.
