The Haunting House of Haster. Arraioz, homosexuality, Madrid
"That I needed things clean, and that I knew clearly from the tick-tick what I wanted, what attracted me"
It is the stepping stone of the Larretxe, next to the axe, the stone lifters, the chinga bearers and, in general, the great popular sportsmen. Patxi is his father, while Donato is his uncle. The Haunted Man is a social worker, a writer, a homosexual. We should all be proud.
