Bernardo Atxaga: Basque Literature from the End of the Franco Era to the Present

This work presents a history of Basque literature in the last years of the Franco dictatorship, following through the transition (post-Franco) period to the modern era. Focusing on noted Basque author, Bernardo Atxaga, it includes his biographical and bibliograhical information along with an analysis of his work covering the Avant-Garde period (1976-1978), a period of "childhood memories" (1979-1988) during which he wrote the internationally acclaimed work Obabakoak, and the Realist Period (1988-1995). The text concludes with an in-depth commentary on Atxaga's 2002 publication, Soinujolearen semea (The Accordion Player's Son).
