In a letter to an editor, Ribeyro said about his stories, “in most of [them] those who are deprived of words in life find expression—the marginalized, the forgotten, those condemned to an existence without harmony and without voice. I have restored to them the breath they’ve been denied, and I’ve allowed them to modulate their own longings, outbursts, and distress.” This is work of deep humanity, imbued with a disorienting lyricism that is Ribeyro’s alone. \u003ci\u003eThe Word of the Speechless\u003c\/i\u003e, edited and translated by Katherine Silver, introduces readers to an indispensable and unforgettable voice of Latin American fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phoenix Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47137684881577,"sku":"PHBK-9781681373232","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/9899\/1785\/files\/17521383482786.jpg?v=1780334182","url":"https:\/\/myti.com\/products\/the-word-of-the-speechless-selected-stories","provider":"Myti","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
