Manuel Rivas delivers a literary masterpiece about three young friends growing up in a community which is bound by a conspiracy of silence Fins and Brinco are best friends and they both adore the wild and beautiful Leda. The three young friends spend their days exploring the dunes and picking through the treasures that the sea washes on to the shores of Galicia. One day as they are playing in the abandoned school on the edge of the village they come across treasure of another kind: a huge cache of whisky hidden under a sheet. But before they can exploit their discovery a shot rings out and a man wearing an impeccable white suit and panama hat enters the room. That day they learn the most important lesson of all that the mouth is for keeping quiet.
Autorenporträt
Manuel Rivas was born in Coruña, Galicia, in 1957. He graduated in Media Studies at the Complutense University of Madrid and then worked as a journalist in the press, radio and television. As an author, he is best known for his seven novels and six collections of short stories. Several volumes have been published in English: The Carpenter's Pencil (2001, novel), In the Wilderness (2003, novel), Books Burn Badly (2010, novel), Vermeer's Milkmaid (2002, stories), Butterfly's Tongue (2000, stories). He is also a highly-regarded poet and essayist. All of his literary work is written in Galician. An edition of Rivas' poetry in Jonathan Dunne's English translation, From Unknown to Unknown (2009), brought together eighty of his poems, drawn from the collected edition published in Galician as Do descoñecido ao descoñecido in 2003, and Shearsman Books published Lorna Shaughnessy's translation of his The Disappearance of Snow in 2012. Some of his work has been filmed in Spain: La lengua de las mariposas (Butterfly's Tongue), based on 3 interwoven stories contained in his collection Que me queres, amor? (Vermeer's Milkmaid in the English language edition), directed by José Luis Cuerda, and El lápiz del carpintero (The Carpenter's Pencil), directed by Antón Reixa.
