Facundo Fierro, writer: the novel "...whither Europe?" (2016)

In 2016, Facundo Fierro Sánchez published his first novel, "...adónde Europa?", with Ediciones Idea, as part of the TID Maior collection (596 pages, ISBN 9788416759071). In an interview from July of that year, eldiario.es notes that it is a historical adventure work set in the European Renaissance, with which the artist argues that the Canary Islands fully participated in the European networks of the 16th century, an approach that connects directly with the historical research that would years later lead to "La Ruta del Flamenco".

The novel had at least two documented public presentations: one at the Sociedad Cosmológica in Santa Cruz de La Palma on July 14, 2016, and another organized by the Fundación La Caja de Canarias together with the Real Sociedad Económica de Amigos del País de Gran Canaria and Editorial Idea.

With this novel, and along with the catalogs "¿Es La Palma?" and "La Palma-Flandes", Fierro's editorial production now forms a body of work consistent enough to constitute a bibliography of its own, beyond his pictorial, sculptural, and design work.
