Notes

General Note
First published by Onufri in Albania in 2015 with the title Kukulla.
Description
At the centre of young Ismail's world is the unknowable figure of his mother. Naive and fragile as a paper doll, she is an unlikely presence in her husband's great stone house, with its hidden rooms and infamous dungeon, and is constantly at odds with her wise and thin-lipped mother-in-law. She is not without her own enigmas, and she fears that her intellectual son-- who uses words she doesn't understand, publishes radical poetry, falls in love freely and seems to be renouncing everything she embodies of the old world-- will have to exchange her for a superior mother when he becomes a famous writer.
Language
Translated from the Albanian.
