Product Information

On a transatlantic flight between Bilbao and New York City, a fictional version of Kirmen Uribe recalls three generations of family history -- the inspiration for the novel he wants to write -- and ponders how the sea has shaped their stories. The day he knew he was going to die, our narrator's grandfather took his daughter-in-law to the Fine Arts Museum in Bilbao, the de facto capital of the Basque region of northern Spain, to show her a painting with ties to their family. Years later, her son Kirmen traces those ties back through the decades, knotting together moments from early twentieth-century art history with the stories of his ancestors' fishing adventures -- and tragedies -- in the North Atlantic Ocean. Elegant, fluid storytelling is punctuated by scenes from Kirmen's flight, from security line to airport bar to jet cabin, and reflections on the creative writing process. This original and compelling novel earned debut author Kirmen Uribe the prestigious National Prize for Literature in Spain in 2009. Exquisitely translated from Basque to English by Elizabeth Macklin, Bilbao-New York-Bilbao skillfully captures the intersections of many journeys: past and present, physical and artistic, complete and still unfolding. Bilbao-New York-Bilbao is the second book commissioned for the Spatial Species series, edited by Youmna Chlala and Ken Chen. The series investigates the ways we activate space through language. In the tradition of Georges Perec's An Attempt at Exhausting a Place in Paris, Spatial Species titles are pocket-sized editions, each keenly focused on place. Instead of tourist spots and public squares, we encounter unmarked, noncanonical spaces: edges, alleyways, diasporic traces. Such intimate journeying requires experiments in language and genre, moving travelogue, fiction, or memoir into something closer to eating, drinking, and dreaming. 'A seamlessly digressive meditation on a writer's family and Spanish history...Uribe's transfixing Sebaldian anecdotes take the reader down a series of rabbit holes and end up piecing together a memorable family portrait. It adds up to a powerful work of autofiction.' -- Publishers Weekly Praise for Kirmen Uribe: 'Uribe has succeeded in realizing what is surely an ambition for many writers: a book that combines family, romances and literature, anchored deeply in a spoken culture but also in bookishness -- and all without a single note of self-congratulation.' -- Times Literary Supplement 'Uribe's literature deepens its roots in the Basque Country, but it's completely universal.' -- Harvard Book Review '[Uribe's] works enlighten the path for memory.' -- Los Angeles Times Book Review

Praise for Kirmen Uribe: "Uribe has succeeded in realizing what is surely an ambition for many writers: a book that combines family, romances and literature, anchored deeply in a spoken culture but also in bookishness - and all without a single note of self-congratulation." -- Times Literary Supplement "Uribe's literature deepens its roots in the Basque Country, but it's completely universal." --H arvard Book Review "[Uribe's] works enlighten the path for memory." -- Los Angeles Times Book Review, Praise for Kirmen Uribe: "Uribe has succeeded in realizing what is surely an ambition for many writers: a book that combines family, romances and literature, anchored deeply in a spoken culture but also in bookishness--and all without a single note of self-congratulation." --Times Literary Supplement "Uribe's literature deepens its roots in the Basque Country, but it's completely universal." --Harvard Book Review "[Uribe's] works enlighten the path for memory." --Los Angeles Times Book Review, "[Uribe's] book is studded with unbelievable gemstones, relics of an oral tradition that have over time transcended the true-false binary. . . . Three gestures--idiosyncrasy, allusion, and aphorism--are pillars of the novel's style, bolstering its investigation of heritage, temporality, and fatherhood. . . . At the heart of the novel is an appreciation of the potent resonances of touch, both literal and figurative. . . . In mining his familial past, the narrator touches palms with his ancestors. Through Bilbao-New York-Bilbao, Uribe runs his fingers through the ocean of another century." --Natasha Ayaz, The Common "A seamlessly digressive meditation on a writer's family and Spanish history. . . . Uribe's transfixing Sebaldian anecdotes take the reader down a series of rabbit holes and end up piecing together a memorable family portrait. It adds up to a powerful work of autofiction." --Publishers Weekly "The transmission of memory--cultural, regional, and personal--relies on storytelling, and as such, Uribe's storytelling often takes on the flavour of myth." --Asymptote Praise for Kirmen Uribe: "Uribe has succeeded in realizing what is surely an ambition for many writers: a book that combines family, romances and literature, anchored deeply in a spoken culture but also in bookishness--and all without a single note of self-congratulation." --Times Literary Supplement "Uribe's literature deepens its roots in the Basque Country, but it's completely universal." --Harvard Book Review "[Uribe's] works enlighten the path for memory." --Los Angeles Times Book Review, "A seamlessly digressive meditation on a writer's family and Spanish history. . . .
