Description
Part travelogue, part diary, part history of this hidden corner of Spain, In Extremadura is also a tragi-comic treatise on the nature of mortality, and a love letter to cinema & literature. It veers from the films of Orson Welles and Luis Bunuel to meditations on torture, terrorism and Welsh holidays, from peregrination (Islamic and Christian) to wild swimming in Scotland and the death of David Bowie. A rib-tickling and thought-provoking genre-buster. Originally published in 2017, and now fully illustrated. Read what the critics say:
“My book of the year” - Nick Gilbert
“Undoubtedly one of the books about Spain I have read” – Orson Welles
“Smells like Andalusian dog” – The Salvador Daily News
“Anyone expecting a book about Spain will be disappointed. In Extremadura is largely concerned with torture, terrorism, funeral playlists, Welsh holidays and other morbid subjects… “– Toby Schneebaum
