Gabriel Urza escribe sobre las complejas intersecciones de cultura, identidad y lugar. Su obra, moldeada por sus experiencias en el País Vasco, profundiza en temas de otredad y pertenencia. A través de su rica prosa, explora experiencias humanas universales a través de lentes culturales específicas. Las narrativas de Urza a menudo examinan los dilemas morales derivados de su experiencia en el derecho, ofreciendo una perspectiva única sobre la justicia y la humanidad.
Corre el año 2004 en Muriga, un tranquilo pueblo del País Vasco con más secretos que habitantes. Han pasado cinco años desde el secuestro y asesinato de un joven político local, padre de familia, y la vida en Muriga casi ha vuelto a la normalidad. Sin embargo, tras los atentados de Atocha en Madrid, el pueblo se enfrenta a su propio pasado turbulento: todo el mundo sabe quién apretó el gatillo en aquella ocasión, pero es el joven que está ahora entre rejas el único culpable?
"It's 2004 in Muriga, a quiet town in Spain's northern Basque Country, a place with more secrets than inhabitants. Five years have passed since the kidnapping and murder of a young local politician--a family man and father--and the town's rhythms have almost returned to normal. But in the aftermath of the Atocha train bombings in Madrid, an act of terrorism that rocked a nation and a world, the townspeople want a reckoning of Muriga's own troubled past: Everyone knows who pulled the trigger five years ago, but is the young man now behind bars the only one to blame? All That Followed peels away the layers of a crime complicated by history, love, and betrayal. The accounts of three townspeople in particular--the councilman's beautiful young widow, the teenage radical now in jail for the crime, and an aging American teacher hiding a traumatic past of his own--hold the key to what really happened. And for these three, it's finally time to confront what they can find of the truth. Inspired by a true story, All That Followed is a powerful, multifaceted novel about a nefarious kind of violence that can take hold when we least expect. Urgent, elegant, and gorgeously atmospheric, Urza's debut is a book for the world we live in now, and it marks the arrival of a brilliant new writer to watch"--
