«Relato de Babia» is the novel by Luis Mateo Díez, published by Austral in paperback (144 pages, in Spanish).
The book reconstructs Babia as a territory between the mythical and the real through local voices: gossip, legends, memories and tales of those who inhabited it. This shared memory intertwines with the writer's childhood in a narrative piece ranging from lyricism to travel chronicle.
Volume 2 of Austral's Contemporánea collection, published in 2000, with an introduction by Ángel G. Loureiro. The author was awarded the National Literature Prize.
For readers of contemporary Spanish literary fiction and stories about collective memory and rural life.
