Summary

In this work, Joseba Sarrionandia champions the legacy of Markos Gimeno, a palindromist from Ermua. The volume assembles over a hundred posters created by various collaborators based upon Markos’s palindromes, accompanied by Sarrionandia’s own introductions and contextual framework. Poised between the ludic and the transcendental, the result is a beautiful and exceedingly ingenious “art-letter” artifact; a piece that, far from being a mere jest, invites profound reflection. Markos coined the term “hizpilu” [word-mirror]: within this reflection, we find our own lives and our world projected, commented upon, and debated. Here, humour manifests as a wound that opens in the form of a smile.
