Over more than half a century, Anjel Lertxundi has completed a rich work, received prestigious awards and the professor and course director of the UPV/EHU, Alex Gurrutxaga, and Beatriz Zabalondo have highlighted the need for the academic field of literary research to analyze the work of the writer. For this reason, the congress will bring together fourteen experts and leading speakers to work on Lertxundi’s work on a monographic basis and for two days.

Guests will include Lourdes Otaegi, Beñat Sarasola, Idoia Santamaria, Antton Olariaga, Andoni Egaña, Juan Kruz Igerabide, Danele Sarriugarte and Iratxe Retolaza. The literature of Lertxundi, from the point of view of the work and the writer, will be analyzed in conference format and in round table format.
