For the first time, the winners in all categories are women.
For the jury. choral novel Eyes closed, by Edurne Portela, “establishes an enriching set of points of view from which arises the tension between the told and the untold, and proposes a dialogue between the present and the past to reflect on guilt and forgiveness”. The jury was made up of Txani Rodríguez, Javier Maura, Aixa de la Cruz, Jesús Camarero and Patricia Millán.
The Euskadi Literature Awards will be presented on November 24 at Tabakalera, the International Center for Contemporary Culture in San Sebastián.
