Small Beer Press is proud to present Kalpa Imperial, the history of an imaginary empire, by Angelica Gorodischer, a major South American fantasist and translated by Ursula K. Le Guin, one of North America?s most dazzling and fearless writers. Gorodischer and Le Guin, born in the same year, are a well-matched, sly and delightful team of magician-storytellers. Rarely have author and translator been such an effortless pairing. Kalpa Imperial is a powerful introduction to Ang?lica Gorodische and will enthrall readers already familiar with the worlds of Ursula K. Le Guin.This is the first of Argentinean writer Ang?lica Gorodischer's many award-winning 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 tapestry-style 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.
