Bekija, painfully aware of why she cannot have what she most wants, chooses to become a “sworn virgin,” setting off a bloody and heartbreaking chain of events that shatters a family and destroys a cherished relationship, but also reveals how trauma can lead to vital, if uncomfortable, truths. Karabash’s poetic stream of consciousness traces gender evolution with innovative grace. This bold exploration of what it means to be a woman in a world defined by the violence of ancient patriarchal traditions has resonated with readers across Europe and beyond, and now English-language readers won’t soon forget Izidora Angel’s award-winning translation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e--\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBulgarian poet, writer, screenwriter, actor, and playwright\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRene Karabash\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e has won multiple awards for her work, including several Best Actress awards for her role in the film \u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eGodless,\u003c\/span\u003e and the Elias Canetti prize—Bulgaria’s most prestigious literary award—for \u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eShe Who Remains\u003c\/span\u003e, her debut novel. \u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eShe Who Remains\u003c\/span\u003e has been translated into over a dozen languages, including French, Italian, Swedish, Portuguese, and Arabic, and a film based on Karabash’s adaptation of the novel is set to be released in 2025.
