Atxaga at the Edinburgh International Book Festival

Bernardo Atxaga participated in the Edinburgh International Book Festival, which began in 1983 and has become one of today's largest international events.

Atxaga presented his novel The Accordionist's Son ("El hijo del acordeonista"), recently published in Great Britain and the United States.

This is Atxaga's third visit to the Scottish festival. His appearance (this time along with Spanish writer Emilio Calderón) attracted a large audience, filling the festival auditorium.
