More space aliens and linguists!

If you liked the movie Arrival, here’s another story about talking to aliens, Monteverde: Memoirs of an Interstellar Linguist, by Lola Robles, a Spanish author, translated by Lawrence Schimel.



Lola writes outstanding, thoughtful works, and Lawrence is a talented and sensitive translator. Full disclosure: they're also friends.

The cover blurb:

“Terran scholar Rachel Monteverde journeys to Aanuk, a paradisiacal planet famous for both its beaches and the generosity 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.”
