✍🏼❤️🔥 And just like that, the first copies of J.M. Coetzee's El vigilante de sala (The Museum Guard) have arrived! It's the first book (a bilingual edition) of the new Prado Fiction Collection, the first piece of fiction produced by the Writing the Prado Fellowship. Elizabeth Costello contemplates Goya's Black Paintings and in a sinister twist, the plot thickens... Collection design by Estela Robles, translated by Mariana Dimopulos, edited by yours truly, aka Spanish Granta, in cahoots with the Museo Nacional del Prado's outstanding team and director Miguel Falomir's oversight, thanks to the sponsorship of and director extraordinaire Shiela Loewe. Pride of place here at the Prado bookstore, also available in bookstores near you, and the piece is available in British Granta's new June issue, #167, Extraction.
