Monteverde: Memoirs of an Interstellar Linguist | Lola Robles

2 posts | 1 read | 1 to read

"Terran scholar Rachel Monteverde journeys to Aanuk, a paradisiacal planet famous for both its beaches and the generosity and joy of life of its nomadic inhabitants. The Aanukiens are not the only people on the planet, however: Rachel is eager to meet the Fihdia, a cave-dwelling people who share a congenital condition that makes them blind. Rachel's relentless determination to communicate with them despite the Aanukien's dismissal and the Fihdia's secretiveness will yield more than she ever hoped for. The first book by Spanish author Lola Robles to be translated into English, Monteverde: Memoirs of an Interstellar Linguist is feminist science fiction in the tradition of Ursula K. LeGuin and Naomi Mitchison"--Page 4 of cover.

Monteverde: Memoirs of an Interstellar Linguist | Lola Robles

pick

Extracts from papers and books by and about Rachel Monteverde, a linguist sent to study the languages and culture of the inhabitants of Aanuk.

Not much of a plot, the anthropology and linguistics only really got interesting when we left the noble savage Aanukiens and joined the cave-dwelling Fihdia.

It sits on the border between Pick and So-So
