Fables · Short narrative · Moralities for an unsettled time
The care that becomes a cage. The silence that becomes a landscape.
These fables don’t aim to teach. They observe.
Fables of Silence reclaims the form of the classical fable — animal, moral, economy of means — to name the small gestures of the present: the care that becomes a cage, the vigilance that learns to call itself love, the protection that teaches the fear it tries to prevent. Four sections, twenty-two fables, no conclusion the reader hasn’t already reached alone before reading it.
In the direct tradition of Aesop, Samaniego, and Iriarte. But with eyes fixed on what those morals sustain today.
