Spain
Guest of the book fair Svět knihy Praha 2024
This writer, critic, essayist and, above all, acclaimed comic and television scriptwriter as well as a professor of French literature at the University of the Basque Country achieved extraordinary success with his graphic novel El arte de volar (The Art of Flying), written in memory of his father, who jumped out of a window at the age of 90, thus putting an end to his lifelong chase for rainbows. A few years later, in El ala rota (The Broken Wing), Altarriba dealt with the fate of his mother, who, for a change, fought against a society full of prejudices, in which everything was decided exclusively by men. Translations of his books have been published in several countries, where he has won several awards, including the prestigious Grand Prix de la Critique prize for his title Yo, Asesino (I, murderer).
