How would any of us feel if we could meet our teenage selves, a ghost on the road? Everything Passes, Everything Remains is a confluence of journeys, made by Chris Dolan, his friends, and writers before him. It’s a bit about cycling, a bit about walking, and a bit about buses. It’s a kind of travelogue, over time, and through some lesser-known parts of Spain. It’s an obsession with Spain’s writers and its history, from the Inquisition to the Civil War to the questions it faces as a country today. What makes a nation, or a family for that matter, or a group of friends? In many ways it’s as much about Dolan’s native Scotland as Spain.
But mostly, it’s about the highs and lows of growing up and growing older – how the past plays merry hell with the present. About friendship, loss, music, memory, and the demons that follow us as we try to make sense of our history and our place in the world.
Award-winning novelist, scriptwriter, playwright and lecturer Chris Dolan was born in Glasgow, where he lives and works today. A former International Consultant for UNESCO, he has had a lifelong fascination with Spain. His numerous writing awards include the McKitterick Prize for his first novel, Ascension Day, the Macallan/Scotland on Sunday Short Story Prize, the Robert Louis Stevenson Memorial Award and a shortlisting for a Saltire Society literary award.
