ISSUE 38.
JUNE, 2026

In our thirty-eighth issue, we highlight an author whose work invites us to rethink the essential questions that define Latin American culture and politics today: Colombian writer and anthropologist Carlos Granés, with a cover dossier including an interview with the author plus new writing by Christopher Domínguez Michael and Nicolás Bernales. We also feature Peruvian writer Carmen Ollé, whose body of work has transgressed limits of genre and expression since the 1980s, with a dossier prepared by César Ferreira. We are glad to present two contributions from special guest writers: Andrea Álvarez Mujica on Argentine rock legend Luis Alberto Spinetta and Joaquín Castillo on the new volume of conversations between José Donoso and Josefina Delgado. This issue also includes two finalists from our latest literary essay contest, an interview with Cervantes Prize-winner Luis Mateo Díez, a special feature on the collaboration between poet Irma Pineda and translator Wendy Call, and previews of new books in translation by Juan Villoro and Mempo Giardinelli.
