Sobre este libro

'We were all to be queens with the smell of burning in our bodies. Now there's nothing left for us but to be born again like the pelican, from a strange tongue …' What if it were the elders who lived on through story, while the youngest of the family was destined to die along with a vanishing world, making way for the vision of a new self? Throughout this award-winning collection rooted in rural Asturias, Raquel F. Menéndez inverts the generational roles of daughter, mother and great-grandmother, invoking the legendary figure of Shahrazad – the storyteller who spun tales against death – to reveal how the past is held within the present. Memory and forgetting, language and silence, home and exile collude and collide in these poems which ask how to live when so much feels already lost. This bilingual edition presents a newly revised Asturian text by Menéndez alongside an extraordinary translation into English by Robin Munby. The Posthumous Book of Shahrazad is a remarkable testament to what survives when voices fade, and to the intimate power of poetry to keep our histories, our languages, and our selves alive.
