Thinking Like a Mountain presents: Irene Solà

Catalan writer and artist Irene Solà joined us on Zoom from Buenos Aires for a conversation about her debut novel, 'When I Sing, Mountains Dance' (Graywolf Press), translated by Mara Faye Lethem. Irene talked with Point Reyes Books' owner Stephen Sparks.
“This book made me swoon. Translated with great musicality, tenderness, and wit, When I Sing, Mountains Dance is thirst-quenching literature of the best kind, rich and ranging, shimmering with human and non-human life, the living and the dead, in our time and deep time. Here is a Pyrenees fable that is utterly universal, deadly funny, and profoundly moving.”-Max Porter, author of Lanny and Grief is the Thing with Feathers
