Life

Ramon Saizarbitoria has a BA in Sociology (University of Fribourg, Switzerland), and is Director of the Center for Documentation and Sociological Studies SIIS of San Sebastián (Basque Country, Spain). He has published numerous books in the field of social services. Since the mid-1960s, he has been working in media in the Basque Country. In 1967, he collaborated with other writers to create LUR publishing. In the 70s, he launched the literary magazine "Oh! Euskadi". Saizarbitoria is primarily a novelist, but has also written essays and poetry. He is one of the most important authors in Basque literature, and is considered, along with 'Txillardegi', as the modernizer of the Basque novel. In 1986, the director Alfonso Ungría adapted Saizarbitoria's book Ehun Metro into a movie.
