«Bilbao-New York-Bilbao» is the novel by Kirmen Uribe Urbieta, published by Elkar in paperback (240 pages, in Basque).
It starts from a flight between Loiu and JFK to interweave three generations of a Basque family: the grandparents before the war, the parents under Francoism and the narrator, from the 19th to the 21st century. With a painting by Aurelio Arteta as a thread, it blends fiction and memory through letters, emails, diaries and poems, in homage to seafaring life and Basque culture.
Winner of the Critics' Prize for Narrative in Basque (2008) and the National Narrative Prize (2009). It is part of the Literatura collection, number 283.
For readers of contemporary fiction and Basque literature, and for those seeking a novel about memory, family history and identity.
