Semana Negra Book Rush

Matt Brooker

At the Semana Negra festival of literature in Gijon, northern Spain, members of the public rush forward to claim copies of this year's Semana Negra book.
Each year, a dozen or so writers and artists are asked to contribute essays, drawings and comic strips on a given theme; this year's was Picasso's Guernica.
Production of the book is paid for by sponsorship, so all copies are given away free, but distribution is on a first-come-first-served basis - hence the urgency.
