«Bilbao-New York-Bilbao» is the autofiction novel by Kirmen Uribe, published by Seix Barral in paperback (208 pages, in Spanish).
During a flight between Bilbao and New York, the narrator reconstructs the memory of three generations of a Basque family tied to the sea. Letters, diaries, emails and poems weave a mosaic of stories of fishermen and artists that pays homage to a vanished way of life and celebrates the bond between generations.
Written in Basque and translated into Spanish by Ana Arregi, the work belongs to Biblioteca Breve and won the National Narrative Prize 2009 and the Critics' Prize 2008 in the Basque language.
For readers of contemporary fiction and autofiction seeking a family story linked to the memory of the Basque Country and the sea.
