Ursula K. Le Guin chose to translate this novel which was on the New York Times Summer Reading list and winner of the Prix Imaginales, Ms All, Poblet and Sigfrido Radaelli awards.This is the first of Argentinean writer Anglica Gorodischer's awardwinning books to be translated into English. In eleven chapters, Kalpa Imperial's multiple storytellers relate the story of a fabled nameless empire which has risen and fallen innumerable times. Fairy tales, oral histories and political commentaries are all woven tapestrystyle into Kalpa Imperial: beggars become emperors, democracies become dictatorships, and history becomes legends and stories.But this is much more than a simple political allegory or fable. It is also a celebration of the power of storytelling. Gorodischer and translator Ursula K. Le Guin are a wellmatched, sly and delightful team of magicianstorytellers. Rarely have author and translator been such an effortless pairing. Kalpa Imperial is a powerful introduction to the writing of Anglica Gorodischer, a novel which will enthrall readers already familiar with the worlds of Le Guin.
