Last week, I wrote here<\/a><\/strong> about a new picture book import, coming to shelves next month, Ra\u00fal Nieto Guridi\u2019s<\/a><\/strong> The King of Nothing<\/em> (New York Review, October 2018), which was originally published in Spanish in 2013 as El rey de nada<\/em> and has been translated by Saul Endor.

Enjoy!<\/p>\n
