SYNOPSIS
The myth of Sisyphus fits everyone like a tailor-made suit: his determination to push the rock to the top is rewarded with nothing more than the punishment of having to start all over again. For journalists, the feeling of undertaking a never-ending task is more palpable than in any other profession. While they fight against the clock to ensure accuracy and truthfulness in their newspapers, the powers that be are constantly pulling at the strings in an attempt to control the news.
After obtaining a Degree in Law, he was quickly drawn to writing and, since then, has turned his pen to almost all genres, including novels (Twist and La voz del Faquir, both of which won the Critics’ Prize for the best book in the Basque language), poetry (Compro oro), chronicles (El puente desafinado) and essays (Ojo y medio).

His work has been translated into a dozen languages. Furthermore, he has translated into Basque works by authors such as Sylvia Plath, Hanif Kureishi, Raymond Carver, Anne Sexton and Allen Ginsberg. He regularly collaborates with Basque choreographers, groups and musicians. Los papeles de Sísifo is his first play.
