A father who does not know how to communicate with his daughter sends her a paper airplane every day from the balcony to say goodbye. Through messages written on airplanes, the father sets literary missions for his daughter to clarify them with the complicity of a scrupulous librarian. Thus, the girl will learn about the relationship between books and life.
Many years later, his daughter, who is now a writer, returns to the library to relate this initiation experience that she has collected in her first book.
Harkaitz Cano (1975) has published novels, comics, non-fiction, short stories and poetry.
A keen explorer of the contours of Basque as a literary form, his writing is shaped by his committed engagement in other forms of art such as theatre, music, cinema, and dance. Translated into a dozen languages, his recent works include the novels Fakirraren ahotsa and Twist, a literary portrait of Luis Buñuel (Kandelikara) and several poetry collections. He has thrice received the Euskadi Prize, and the Spanish National Critics’ Award on four occasions. Some of his stories for children and young adults such us Zer demontre dago aulkien azpian? [What on earth lives under chairs?] and Orkestra lurtarra [The Earthly Orchestra] have been included in the IBBY Honour List. This last work was also made into an animated film by Lotura Films in 2022.
