The book reviews in our summer special issue, Wasafiri 126: Impossible Returns — The Spain Issue, cover a range of recent work by writers working in English, Spanish, Catalan, and Galician. Read all these reviews and more in Wasafiri 126 — available to order now. buff.ly/9wBrqkr

Red background. Headline in pale yellow reads: REVIEW ESSAY Texts of Wrecking and Renewal by Alejandro Beas-Murillo. Underneath are photos of the three book covers which are reviewed in the essay. Below that is white text which is a quote from the review. It reads: ‘... all three of these texts, as well as their authors, are scrambling to capture a life, a world, and a mode of being in relation to the natural world – and to one another – that are about to disappear.’

Red background. At the top is a book cover, showing the book being reviewed. Underneath in yellow text is the title and author of the book: My Clavicle: And Other Massive Misalignments by Marta Sanz, trans. by Katie King. Below that is a quote from the review in white: ‘After three years of insisting, doctors finally examine her to find that a thread from an episiotomy has been left inside her, causing a potentially deadly infection.’

Red background. At the top are two book covers, showing the books being reviewed. Underneath in yellow text is the title and author of the books: What We Tried to Bury Grows Here by Julian Zabalbeascoa and What Remains by Brais Lamela, trans. by Jacob Rogers. Below that is a quote from the review in white: ‘As both titles suggest, there exist, in a post-war society, traces and echoes in the landscape, an invitation to remember. Perhaps this – fragile as it is – brings Basques and Galicians closer to justice.’

Red background. At the top are two book covers, showing the books being reviewed. Underneath in yellow text is the title and author of the books: I Gave You Eyes and You Looked Toward Darkness by Irene Solà, trans. by Mara Faye Lethem and Carnaval Fever by Yuliana Ortiz Ruano, trans. by Madeleine Arenivar. Below that is a quote from the review in white: ‘Set within the Afro-Ecuadorian community of Esmeraldas, our young narrator Ainhoa describes coming of age among the ‘ñañerío’, a term normally reserved for siblings – as her light-skinned cousins from Quito mockingly observe ...’
