Author: Tomás Alcoverro.
Tomás Alcoverro’s latest book, Todo por decir, was presented last Tuesday at Casa Árabe in Madrid, published by Carena.
This story begins with a Kalashnikov and ends, fifty years later, with flowers. All on a balcony in Beirut. This is the story of the Western journalist who has been a correspondent in the Middle East for the longest time. Tomás Alcoverro edited articles by Josep Pla, lived through the Paris of 1968, invited García Márquez to a paella in Badalona when the novelist was unknown and flew with Josep Tarradellas in the light aircraft that brought him back from exile. But, above all, he has been a direct witness to the convulsions of the world stretching between Cairo and Teheran: the burial of Gamal Abdel Nasser, the return of Khomeini and Yasser Arafat’s Black September. From the mythologised Israeli kibbutz of 1967 to the last great explosion in the port of Beirut, Alcoverro tells stories that he has always written with a pen before turning to the keyboard.
