KARLOS ARETXABALETA "TXAPEL"
Friday December 13 – 16:30 Euskalduna Sala OC
Imagine you are sitting in front of a well-known climber or mountaineer, one you admire. Imagine that you both have a beer in your hand, a smile on your face, and that the words come out on their own, in complete confidence, close, friendly. Imagine that you can slip into their stories, into the anecdotes that have built their journey. And then, you collect all that you have heard and shared in a book in which reality draws a fictional scenario. That is what the Biscayan writer Karlos Aretxabaleta, Txapel, has done. He has shared afternoons with, among others, Edurne Pasaban, Juanjo San Sebastian, the Pou brothers, Alex Txikon, Oihana Azkorbebeitia, Mikel Zabalza, Alberto Iñurrategi, Ekaitz Maiz, Imanol Amundarain, Irati Anda, Iker Arroitajauregi, Iñigo Basterra... We will walk with them along the paths of memories, through far-off countries and closer surroundings, but always with nature as our flag. The prologue is written by Juanra Madariaga, and the epilogue by Ioritz Gonzalez Lertxundi.
