«Laranja bat zaborretan» is a short story by Patxi Zubizarreta Dorronsoro, published by Elkar in paperback (124 pages, in Basque).
The work opens with an idea: to know whether a place is poor, rich or touristy, you have to look at its trash bins. If there are containers instead of dirt, the place is neither poor nor rich; if the dirt is visible and people live among it, it is poor. The story is built on this reflection, set in a poor village full of waste.
Volume 32 of the Ateko bandan collection; includes illustrations by Alfredo Fermin Cemillan. Published on November 3, 2015.
For the general public: a narrative in Basque with a social background and a fairy-tale tone.
