Description

A deeply humane collection of short stories by one of South America's greatest 20th-century writers, now available in English for the first time. Julio Ramón Ribeyro's work is marked by its lyricism and its portrayal of marginalized populations.

Through his writing, Ribeyro gives voice to those who have been silenced, allowing them to express their longings, outbursts, and distress. This collection, edited and translated by Katherine Silver, offers a profound and unforgettable reading experience.

A testament to the power of literature to amplify the voices of the marginalized, The Word of the Speechless is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in Latin American fiction and the human condition.
