<i>Death in Spring </i>tells the story of the bizarre and destructive customs of a nameless town—burying the dead in trees after filling their mouths with cement to prevent their soul from escaping, or sending a man to swim in the river that courses underneath the town—through the eyes of a fourteen-year-old boy who must come to terms with the rhyme and reason of this ritual violence, and with his wild, child-like, and teenaged stepmother, who becomes his playmate. Musical and rhythmic, this is truly the work of a writer at the height of her powers.<b>Mercè Rodoreda </b>(1908–83) is widely regarded as the most important Catalan writer of the twentieth century.<b>Martha Tennent </b>translates from Spanish and Catalan, and received an NEA translation fellowship for her work on Rodoreda.
