The book ‘The Island that Never Was. An English castaway in Bilbao’ published

The Publisher ZAWP has just launched the book, ‘The Island that Never Was. An English castaway in Bilbao’ by Robert Alcock, biologist and neighbour of Zorrotzaurre.

The book is a personal diary of 15 years on the península that is soon to become an island and which is mainly undiscovered, even by people from Bilbao.

The book contains a varied cast of different characters, Bertold Brecht and Zaha Hadid, lizards and kingfishers, Gargantua the child-swallowing float from fiestas and the thousand-eyed beast, squatters and graffiti artists, speculators and artists.

Imaginary future alternatives for the quarter are also examined.
