Rafael Pérez Estrada translated into English by Steven Stewart, Devoured by the Moon
Before his death in 2000, Rafael Pérez Estrada was one of contemporary Spain’s most imaginative and unique writers. A several-time finalist for Spain’s Premio Nacional de Literatura, he published over forty books in his lifetime. He created a body of work that often defies classification, crafting fantastic realities from myth, fable, and his own Mediterranean surroundings. He creates his own world which can be said to be vaguely rooted in ours, eliciting comparisons to Borges and Calvino. This bi-lingual selection of his work in Spanish with facing translations into English by Steven J. Stewart present his work in all its richness.
