Description:Manuel Rivas has been heralded as one of the brightest in a new wave of Spanish writers influenced by Spanish and European traditions, as well as by the history of Spain over the past seventy years. A bestseller in Spain, The Carpenter's Pencil has been published in nine countries. Set in the dark days of the Spanish Civil War, The Carpenter's Pencil charts the linked destinies of a remarkable cast of unique characters.

Translated from the Galician by Jonathan Dunne. "A profound tale of love, art, politics and the lingering effects of a gentleness and cruelty on the soul." (The Miami Herald) "Rivas is a master . . . You never know, at the beginning of a paragraph, where he will take you. His pages bloom like flowers, swerving in unpredictable arcs toward a light-source that is constantly moving." (Bookforum) "He is an important storyteller because he is sensitive and has an incredible ear, which, in his fiction, is allied to great ingenuity."
