«Sakoneta» is the short novel by Xabier Mendiguren Elizegi, published by Elkar in paperback (148 pages, in Basque).
The expropriation of the Sakoneta farmhouse to build the high-speed rail line (AHT) leads a man to shoot at the authorities. Within twenty-four hours, armed ertzainas, sympathetic environmentalists, cynical journalists and onlookers cross paths in Sasiondo, each with their own dreams and experiences. This choral novel, in 48 brief chapters, combines realism and grotesque farce with mordant humor.
«Sakoneta» is volume 17 of Elkar's Ateko bandan collection, published on February 9, 2011.
For readers interested in contemporary Basque literature, with ironic humor and social criticism around a real conflict.
