Masterful

Quantum Prose
2023

Edición inglesa de Magistral · Traducción de Peter Kahn

Translated by Peter Kahn

"He is neither avant-garde nor marginalized, neither quirk nor any other lazy or easy label. Rubén Martín Giráldez is simply a highly original writer, and his Masterful (entertaining, sadistic, and verbose) demands interpretive insolence. A lure that all audacious readers should get hooked on." - Gonzalo Torné

RUBÉN MARTÍN GIRÁLDEZ is the author of two other novels: Sagrado y desagrado (Sacred and Desacred), (Malas Tierras, 2022) and Menos Joven (Less Young), (Jekyll & Jill, 2013). He has also published belle infidèle written with Adrià Pujol Cruells: El fill del corrector / Arre, arre, corrector (The Proofreader’s son / Giddy up, Proofreader!), (Hurtado & Ortega, 2018); the essay “Unos pinitos en pedantería” (My First Steps in Pedantry), which formed a diptych with “Por qué la literatura experimental amenaza con destruir la edición, a Jonathan Franzen y la vida tal y como la conocemos” (Why Experimental Fiction Threatens to Destroy Publishing, Jonathan Franzen, and Life as We Know it: A Correction, by Ben Marcus), (Jekyll & Jill, 2019); and the burlesque essay, “Thomas Pynchon: un escritor sin orificios” (Thomas Pynchon: A Writer without Orifices) (Alpha Decay, 2010).
