Life

BA in Sociology (University of Fribourg, Switzerland) and Director of the Center for Documentation and Sociological Studies SIIS of San Sebastián (Basque Country, Spain), has published numerous books in the field of social services. Since the mid-1960s has been working in most media in the Basque Country. In 1967 created the LUR publishing along with other writers, and in the 70s created the literary magazine "Oh! Euskadi". He has worked primarily in the novel, but also wrote essays and poetry. It is one of the most important authors in Basque literature. It is considered, along with 'Txillardegi' as modernizer of Basque novel, but, unlike the latter, its literary presence has continued to grow over time. In 1985 the director Alfonso Ungría took to film the book "Ehun metro".
