Book Overview
When Liborio Uribe found that he was going to die, he wanted to see a painting once again by Aurelio Arteta, his wife's father. Uribe had spent his entire life at sea, like his son Jos , living out unforgettable adventures which actually later fade into obscurity. Years later, faced with the same painting, Liborio's grandson Kirmen, a writer and poet, uses these family stories to write a novel.
Bilbao-New York-Bilbao takes place during a flight to New York and tells the story of journeys of three generations of the same family. The key to the book is Liborio's fishing boat, named 'Dos Amigos': who are these two friends, and what is the nature of their friendship?
Through letters, diaries, emails, poems and dictionaries, it creates a mosaic of memories and stories that combine to form a homage to a would that has almost disappeared, as well as a hymn to the continuity of life. A novel, it is also a reflection on the art of writing, and lies between life and fiction.
