FictionNunca serás un verdadero Gondra (You’ll never be a true Gondra)
by Borja Ortiz de Gondra
Borja works as a translator for an international organization in New York, where he lives with his partner, John. One night, he receives a phone call from his cousin, who informs him that his brother has just died and that the cousin has something to give him. Many years earlier, in the 1990s, Borja left the Basque Country and cut his ties with a family and a land that were poisoned by hatred and incomprehension. In the United States he became a different person, someone who had torn up his roots and buried his past in order to embrace a present in which he could live, freely, in another language. But one phone call can be enough to demolish the highest wall. Now, this ill-fated son of a family that has fallen on hard times finds he is the sole heir of the dilapidated mansion that looks out over the sea from its vantage point at the top of the town of Algorta. Only he can open the door and decide what to do with so many years of pain and silence. But healing the wounds is not easy and writing a book about the past may only serve to make them deeper. Ortiz de Gondra has written a perceptive exploration of identity, memory and the possibility of shaping one’s own destiny beyond any boundaries that our family and our homeland may impose on us.
