TAUT AND GORGEOUSLY ATMOSPHERIC, A DEBUT IN THE TRADITION OF JOAN GABRIEL VASQUEZ AND MOHSIN HAMID; THE STORY OF A POLITICALLY CHARGED ACT OF VIOLENCE AS IT IS FINALLY PIECED TOGETHER BY THREE UNEXPECTED MEMBERS OF A SMALL SPANISH TOWN

"A ballsy, dazzling debut novel unlike anything you've ever read. Written in beautiful lean vignettes, this is at once a literary big ideas book about a nation, a people, and also highly addictive—I finished it in a day. Self-assured, bold, and allergic to trends, Gabriel Urza is an absolute original."
—CLAIRE VAYE WATKINS, award-winning author of Battleborn

IT'S 2004 in MURIGA, a quiet town in Spain's northern Basque Country, a place with more secrets than inhabitants. Five years have passed since the kidnapping and murder of a young local politician—a family man and father— but in the aftermath of the Atocha train bombings in Madrid, the townspeople want a reckoning: Everyone knows who pulled the trigger five years ago, but is the young man now behind bars truly to blame? All That Followed peels away the layers of a crime complicated by history, love, and betrayal. The accounts of three townspeople in particular—the councilman's beautiful young widow, the teenage radical now in jail for the crime, and an aging American teacher hiding a traumatic past of his own—hold the key. Inspired by a true story, Urza's debut is a powerful, multifaceted novel about a nefarious kind of violence that can take hold when we least expect, a book for the world we live in now.

GABRIEL URZA received his MFA from the Ohio State University. His family is from the Basque region of Spain, where he lived for several years. He is a grant recipient from the Kellogg Institute for International Studies, and his short fiction and essays have been published in Riverteeth, Hobart, Erlea, The Kenyon Review, West Branch, Slate, and other publications. He also has a degree in law from the University of Notre Dame and has spent several years as a public defender in Reno, Nevada.
