About the Book

Premio de Traducción Etxepare - Laboral Kutxa 2020

Una antología de los mejores relatos de la autora revelación vasca, Premio Euskadi de Literatura.

Premio de Traducción Etxepare - Laboral Kutxa 2020

Una mujer acepta la incómoda tarea de cuidar a su exmarido enfermo a pesar de llevar veinte años separados. Una familia marcada por las secuelas físicas de un terrible incendio celebra el cumpleaños de su hija. Una mujer conserva en un bote el mioma extirpado de su útero y otra no reconoce sus propias manos. También hay historias políticas donde sus protagonistas arrastran heridas del violento pasado del País Vasco y relatos familiares sobre mujeres desapegadas de sus hijos, de sus madres o de sus propias vidas; cuentos que ponen en entredicho la solidaridad o en los que importan más los animales que las personas.

Los relatos de Eider Rodríguez, Premio Euskadi de Literatura, tienen la virtud de dejar una profunda huella en la mente del lector. Su voz inclemente indaga en la cotidianidad de la clase media vasca y en las ruindades de un territorio humano reconocible por todos. La prosa descarnada y sin artificios de la autora abre las grietas de las buenas apariencias e intenciones para mostrarnos las múltiples sombras que se esconden bajo su fachada.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

An anthology of the greatest short stories by the best new Basque author, Euskadi Literature Award recipient.

A woman accepts the uncomfortable task of taking care of her ill ex-husband, despite having spent two decades apart. A family marked by the physical consequences of a terrible fire celebrates their daughter's birthday. A woman keeps the fibroid she had removed from her uterus in a can, and another does not recognize her own hands. There are also political stories where the protagonists drag old wounds from the Basque Country's violent past; family tales about women detached from their children, their mothers, and their own lives. Stories that call solidarity into question, or where animals matter more than people.

The tales of Euskadi Literature Award winner, Eider Rodríguez, have the virtue of leaving a profound trace in the mind of the reader. Her unforgiving voice digs into the everyday life of the Basque middle class and the infamy of a human territory we all recognize. The author's raw prose, free of devices, opens the cracks between good appearances and intentions to show us the multiple shadows hiding under such a facade.
About the Author: Eider Rodríguez nació en Rentería, País Vasco, el 18 de mayo de 1977. Sus padres, Ana María y Juan María, trabajadores en una empresa familiar de material de construcción, veían la educación como una herramienta de ascenso social, y transmitieron a sus hijas la importancia de la cultura en general y de la lectura en particular.

Cursó estudios en la Universidad del País Vasco, en la Sorbonne Nouvelle de París y en la Universidad Complutense de Madrid. Licenciada en Publicidad, es doctora en literatura.

Siendo editora, publicó su primer libro de relatos, Y poco después ahora, a los veintiséis años, al que siguieron Carne (2007), Un montón de gatos (2010) y Un corazón demasiado grande (2017), galardonado con los premios Euskadi de Literatura y Euskadi de Plata. Literatura Random House ha publicado una antología con el mismo título que incluye los relatos de su último libro y una selección de sus mejores cuentos anteriores.

Eider Rodríguez, además, ha cultivado otros géneros, como el cómic (Santa familia), el ensayo (El cuerpo de las escritoras y El mar es el único camino) y la traducción (Le bal, de Irène Némirovsky).
Ha sido también guionista y traductora. Actualmente trabaja de profesora en el área de Lengua y Literatura de la Universidad del País Vasco en Donostia-San Sebastián.

Reside en Hendaya, un pequeño pueblo fronterizo y costero, alejada del ruido, con su familia, sus árboles, sus plantas, sus libros y sus gatos.
