Asturian author Alfonso Zapico takes on the Basque conflict and the dark years of Euskadi

On the first day of winter in 2016, Eduardo Madina, a socialist politician who survived an ETA attack in 2002, and Fermin Muguruza, onetime frontman of the band Kortatu and a musical idol of Euskadi, met in the Basque city of Irun. Both shared coffee and conversation while Alfonso Zapico recorded the moment in his notebook. Those sketches were the genesis of Los puentes de Moscú [The Bridges of Moscow], which is the story of various generations of young Basques whose own history is drawn in black and white.
