Nevo, for his part, has been awarded the novel "three stories", which was premiered in Bilbao. The awards that are usually given on the book day, but due to the situation of this year's pandemic, the awards have been deferred from April to November.

The book ‘Miñan’, written by Amets Arzallus and Ibrahima Bald, has been the winner of the awards in euskera.Ibrahima Bald gathers the conflictive path he had to travel to reach Europe from his homeland. To what Balda said, Arzallus gave the structure and took the trash, in Basque. In the interview offered to GARA earlier this year, Arzallus explains the origin and why of the book: "Ibrahima taught me how many motorcycles and knots are behind the migrants. On the other hand, the way of counting is also very special: Africans in general build a special French, with special contrasts – intercaling expressions more or less gathered than they have learned in school – and that is close to the moment, and Ibrahima has a special look and logic within that mechanics of language.”

Eshkol Nevo’s ‘Three Stories’ novel has been the winner of the awards in castellano.El an Israeli writer has been selected as the winner for “the freshness of the outstanding literatures” on his pages. It is a novel composed of three stories that addresses the paradigm of society and current communication based on the conflict of individuals, traumas and secrets.
