Summary

Rene Karabash: She Who Remains

"She Who Remains", Rene Karabash's landmark Bulgarian queer novel, secretly takes readers to a rural Albanian village where, to this day, Lekë Dukagjini's Kanun - a collection of archaic laws - looms over the villagers' lives with the same haunting presence of the surrounding mountains. Bekija, painfully aware of why she cannot have what she wants most, decides to become a "sworn virgin", setting in motion a bloody and heartbreaking chain of events that destroy a family and a cherished relationship, but also reveal how trauma can lead to vital, albeit unpleasant, truths. Karabash's poetic stream of consciousness traces the evolution of the sexes with innovative grace. This bold exploration of what it means to be a woman in a world defined by the violence of ancient patriarchal traditions resonated with readers across Europe and beyond, and now English-speaking readers won't soon forget Isidore Angel's award-winning translation. "The one that remains reads like a dark fairy tale from a time when life was lived closer to the bone... Bold and visionary, Rene Karabash's novel reveals a world of blood feuds and sworn virgins - women accepted into society as men - in a dream-like narrative that permeates the page with feverish urgency. Izidori Angela's translation from the Bulgarian excitingly captures the thick tapestry of the novel's hypnotic language." - Katrina Dodson
