On May 29, the beloved bookstore Te llamaré Viernes, owned by editor and bookseller Paola Lucantis, closed its doors for the final time. Named in honor of the late friend and writer Almudena Grandes, the store's farewell was marked by a poignant reading from Spanish actress Carmen De la Osa. This closure underscores the ongoing challenges faced by independent bookstores worldwide, highlighting the cultural loss when such spaces, which have nurtured literary communities, are no longer around.
