Spain by Peter Bush

Spain by Peter Bush

Explore Spain's rich literary landscape with some of the country's best contemporary writers. Arranged geographically, these thirty stories -- many of which appear in English for the first time -- transport the reader through Spain's many enchanting regions: experience a bull-run with Juan Goytisolo in Albacete, join Bernardo Atxaga in a Basque village, travel to the misty woods of Galicia with Manuel Rivas, and reminisce with Julio Llamazares over black-and-white photos of his childhood Spain.

"This compilation..'strives to go beyond the commonplaces' and overwhelmingly succeeds in this...vivid and descriptive images and more subtle suggestions of the landscape and culture...The collection is a good one, well selected and translated, and conveys a real senseof Spain as a country but also as a people..." -- British Bulletin of Publications on Latin America, April 2003.
