«Van't Hoffen ilea» is the novel by Unai Elorriaga Lopez de Letona, published by Elkar in paperback (224 pages, in Basque).
The novel is conceived as a game: Matías Malanda, a man in his mid-thirties, prefers to spend the day playing. He always carries a rubber ball, lugs two sacks of plastic toy soldiers to play with his brother, and buys dictionaries and encyclopaedias to invent non-existent lives. Play is also his way of looking at life.
First edition, published in 2003. It corresponds to number 228 of Elkar's Literatura collection. Winner of the Igartza Saria.
For readers of Basque fiction who enjoy a playful novel with a reflective undertone.
