‘Cycling along, the interior landscape changing faster than the topography. Memory and dreams whipping themselves into daymares. A much-loved country became almost subconsciously foreign, unfamiliar, the spring sun hot and dangerous, close friends distant.

The weight of all that’s remembered.’

Everything Passes, Everything Remains takes us freewheelin’ through Spain, song and memory as Chris Dolan explores the highs and lows of growing up and growing older. We follow Dolan and his Black Dog, or Dodo as he calls it, through a lifetime of Spanish adventures that question how we think about identity, as individuals, yes, but also as citizens and nations. He examines memory and how it tricks us; how it chops up all the pieces of our lives and rearranges them to create a different picture – sometimes better, sometimes worse, rarely accurate.

It is ‘thoughtful, hopeful and beautifully written.’ Colin Blane
