Book of Questions/Libro de las preguntas

Pablo Neruda

Pablo Neruda’s bilingual Spanish-English collection presents 70 illustrated questions selected from his larger Book of Questions. The questions move through the natural world and range from playful and dreamlike to spiritual, historical, political, and existential. Chilean artist Paloma Valdivia places them amid stylized scenes of animals, people, and objects, using blue, red, and yellow against mostly black backgrounds. Rather than supplying answers, the book invites contemplation through riddles, paradoxes, mystery, and open-ended curiosity.
