A Glass Eye, A by Miren Agur Meabe
A writer in her late thirties retreats to Landes in France for a while, fleeing from her own suffering after the break-up of a relationship. Little by little, she finds solace in writing about the losses in her life, about her person, and about indifference and freedom, and in sharing the doubts that arise in her creative process with a 'you' whom she imagines to be on the other side. -- Cyngor Llyfrau CymruMiren Agur Meabe (Lekeitio, 1962), holds degrees in teaching and Basque philology.
