Julian Zabalbeascoa
Author Julian Zabalbeascoa will discuss his debut novel What We Tried to Bury Grows Here. Set in the Basque Country during the Spanish Civil War, What We Tried to Bury Grows Here is a masterly crafted and haunting tale of survival, longing, and empathy. The Boston
Globe says "Zabalbeascoa brings together family lore and mountains of research to
paint a kaleidoscopic portrait of the Spanish Civil War, particularly its impact on
the people of Spain's Basque region." What We Tried to Bury Grows Here was recently selected as a finalist for the prestigious Los Angeles Times Book Prize.
Julian was born and raised in the Central Valley, the son of a Basque immigrant from Bizkaia. He now teaches in the Honors College at the University of Massachusetts Lowell, leading annual study abroad programs to Donostia-San Sebastian, Havana, Madrid, Paris, and Seville.
