Immersed in fantasy

  • Spinning in the roundabout Leire Bilbao Illustrations: Eider Eibar Elkar, 2015

03 September 2015
Starting from a simple and everyday situation, Leire Bilbao presents us with an imaginative and fantastic work, which has a reality tint at first, when Urko prepares to go to school, when he goes late and without urinating he goes up the bus. This is the starting point and the reason for all subsequent events. Urko, on the bus, is getting more and more urine, and next to a roundabout, with the red traffic light, she's going down a time to urinate. Of course, the bus escapes and the boy stays inside the roundabout, in a separate territory, admirable, in a situation similar to that of the book Alizia, which he carries in the backpack.
Nonsense, or nonsense, is the main feature of Lewis Carroll's novel, and this story is similar to that of Leire Bilbao, where we will discover characters and curious situations from the persecution of the topos that are continually digging in the roundabout. A deer filled with bulbs, a traffic light bulb… or a stone that speaks:
“Listen, I know I have a hard head… but I don’t have to endure the smell of your legs,” he said with the voice of those who have their nose closed.
"Wow!" The only one I was missing! A stone that knows how to speak – I said with a surprised shout.
“I am not a stone. I am Harry – he said flatly.”
The absurdity has some humor, because it's funny what happens to Urko, has friends who find curious and curious people to talk to.
The story is composed of facts, short chapters and helps to read, the reader is a person who is asking from here to there, and although the sensation of the passage of time is slow, the day advances.
When the bus is back, in the roundabout… “Miss Miren has noticed me, or at least that has seemed to me to see her face scared. (…)
“It was Txizalarri, Miss. And I couldn't contain the need to vent myself.
“Quick, come in!” If your mother knows! he said. No, it’s better that you don’t know – add later.”
As you can see, the crudest reality coincides with the greatest fantasy in this entertaining and loving story. And that tone is also reflected in the images of Eider Eibar; vivid colors, different visions, different sizes and shapes, shaping and enriching the thread of the story.
The reader who walks into the pages of his book Errotondan back, as a girl chasing the rabbit, will dive into a fantastic world until the Tyrannosaurus, the bus Barka, appears and returns to our reality. n
