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. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Word of the Speechless\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, edited and translated by Katherine Silver, introduces readers to an indispensable and unforgettable voice of Latin American fiction.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-expanded=\"true\" class=\"a-expander-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content a-expander-content-expanded\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-expanded=\"true\" class=\"a-expander-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content a-expander-content-expanded\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003ePublished: USA, 2019\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: New York Review of Books\u003cbr\u003ePages: 246\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003eISBN 13: 9781681373232\u003cbr\u003eISBN 10: 1681373238\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Julio Ramon Ribeyro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49683340460298,"sku":"","price":20.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/files\/9781681373232.jpg?v=1722253064","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/the-word-of-the-speechless","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
