Granta 113 The Best Of Young Spanish Language Novelists

From Borges to Garcia Marquez Vargas Llosa Marias or Bolano the Spanish language has given us some of the 20th centurys most beloved writers. But as the reach of Spanish culture extends far beyond Spain and Latin America and the US tilts towards a majority Hispanic population the time is right to ask who and what is next in Spanish language fiction? In this the first translated issue of Grantas Best of Young Novelists a distinguished panel of six judges Edgardo Cozarinsky Isabel Hilton Francisco Goldman Mercedes Monmany and Granta en Espanols publishers Valerie Miles and Aurelio Major looks to new writing across the Spanishspeaking world and asks Who are the most promising novelists telling the stories from the old and new worlds today? Granta 113 published simultaneously in Spain as Los mejores narradores jovenes en espanol will showcase the work of 22 promising new writers. Grantas previous Best of Young Novelists issues have been startlingly accurate crystal balls first calling attention to the work of writers from Salman Rushdie to Jonathan Franzen to Zadie Smith. Here for the first time in translation we will again attempt to predict the stars of the future.
