Book Description
'Butterfly's Tongue' tells of the friendship between a schoolboy and an anarchist schoolmaster, born of a shared interest in animal and insect life, which is destroyed by the eruption of the Spanish Civil War in the summer of 1936. Other stories are woven around characters who appear in this central story. In 'A Saxophone in the Mist', a young musician discovers the meaning of music and of love in the face of a girl he meets one foggy night at a fair. In 'Carmina' a boy listen as a man relates how a dog frustrated him in his attempts to woo his beloved. Each of these magical stories by the Galician writer Manuel Rivas, the basis for the memorable film by Jos Luis Cerda, evokes the wonder of a young boy's first encounter with the adult world and his first experiences of human passion and the mysteries of unrequited love.

Book Description
Butterfly Burning brings the brilliantly poetic voice of Zimbabwean writer Yvonne Vera to American readers for the first time. Set in Makokoba, a black township, in the late l940s, the novel is an intensely bittersweet love story. When Fumbatha, a construction worker, meets the much younger Phephelaphi, he"wants her like the land beneath his feet from which birth had severed him." He in turn fills her "with hope larger than memory." But Phephelaphi is not satisfied with their "one-room" love alone. The qualities that drew Fumbatha to her, her sense of independence and freedom, end up separating them. And the closely woven fabric of township life, where everyone knows everyone else, has a mesh too tight and too intricate to allow her to escape her circumstances on her own. Vera exploits language to peel away the skin of public and private lives. In Butterfly Burning she captures the ebullience and the bitterness of township life, as well as the strength and courage of her unforgettable heroine.
