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.","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57556911489406,"sku":"NW9781681373232","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781681373232.jpg?v=1783214122","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-usa\/products\/word-of-the-speechless","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
