Astisendo Grupo Editorial La Ruta Joyce Spanish Comic Golden . The Dubliner´s Journeys by Alfonso Zapico opens and closes in Dublin this travelogue of the creative process behind the graphic novel about the life and work of James Joyce.The Joyce Route is a travelogue, a journey through the cities that Alfonso Zapico visited in the footsteps of James Joyce in his arduous process of documentation and research that would allow the realization of the graphic novel Dubliner (Astiberri, 2011), as well as other cities that the Asturian cartoonist visited and that were decisive in the process of creating the work about the brilliant Irish writer.Thus, we witness the most diverse adventures that took Zapico through Dublin, Trieste, Paris and Zurich - the four most important cities in Joyce´s life.In these four stages of the route in the footsteps of the writer of Ulysses, four other episodes are interspersed shorter, but important in the structure and gestation of the project, says Alfonso Zapico, which take him to the French town of Angoulême, where a large part of the graphic novel was made.He will also stop in Bilbao, where, with Dubliners still to be drawn, he attended an international Joyce conference to give a lecture on the creative process he was carrying out.A journey that closes with his return to Dublin, the epilogue of the book itself, and the presentation of Dubliners during Bloomsday, invited by the Cervantes Institute in the Irish capital.The Joyce Route has a casual and fluid tone, sprinkled with a large number of curious and even unexpected anecdotes:In the pub where the teachers of the Cervantes Institute in Dublin go, we find ourselves having pints as if nothing with Enda Kenny, the Prime Minister of the Republic, says Zapico.Or, on returning to the French town of Angoulême from a trip to Trieste, when he finds a letter from David Norris, the Joycean senator to whom I had sent a copy, where he told me that he was immersed in the election campaign in which he was running for president of the Republic, but that he wanted to read the album and tell me things.Very Joycean!, he adds amused.The Joyce Route also takes the form of an exhibition of original works, which, after passing through Barcelona, Madrid and San Sebastián, will soon stop at the Fnac in Seville between 21 November and 12 December.Later it will arrive in Oviedo and Valencia, and at least it will be possible to see it in different Spanish cities until April 2012. tradeinn Techinn
