«Bilbao-New York-Bilbao» is the novel by Kirmen Uribe, published by Edicions 62 in paperback (192 pages, in Catalan).
On a flight from Bilbao to New York, the narrator reviews three generations of a Basque family: the grandparents before the war, the parents under Francoism, and the young people raised in democracy. The novel links that memory of a world tied to the sea with the construction of the story itself and blurs the boundaries between reality and fiction.
It is Kirmen Uribe's first novel, translated into Catalan by Pau Joan Hernàndez. It won the National Narrative Prize and the Critics' and Booksellers' prizes of Euskadi.
For readers of contemporary fiction interested in family memory and twentieth-century Basque history.
