The invisible bridge
Circe Maia
Translated from Spanish by Jesse Lee Kercheval
The invisible bridge arrives in this batch as a Uruguay entry translated from Spanish by Jesse Lee Kercheval, and its title already opens a useful path into the book. I read it through Circe Maia’s invisible bridge, an Uruguayan work of thought, relation, and quiet crossing, built from the ordinary rather than spectacle. That does not mean the book needs to be solved through those three ideas, only that they give a reader somewhere to stand before the language begins moving. What I want from a description here is permission: start with the image, the rhythm, the odd pressure of a phrase. Published by University of Pittsburgh Press, the book widens the library’s sense of what contemporary and modern Spanish-language literature can hold.
