What Remains

Beschreibung

A deeply personal story that blends fiction, memoir, essay, and archival writing to explore the complexity of migration, the history of forced resettlement, and the weight of the colonial past. Shifting between the intimate present and the archival past, New York City and the remote mountains of Negueira de Muñiz, Galician writer Brais Lamela's award-winning debut novel follows a young scholar's journey into the forgotten history of the Franco regime, uncovering both the past and the still-present afterlife of a forced resettlement project in the Galician countryside of the 1960s.
