Penguin Random House Acquires Quino's Works Amid Ediciones de la Flor's Closure
Ediciones de la Flor, a prominent Argentine publisher known for its graphic humor and literature, is closing its doors. This decision comes amid economic pressures and the transfer of Quino's complete works to Sudamericana, a part of Penguin Random House. The announcement was made during the 50th Buenos Aires International Book Fair, marking a significant moment in the Argentine publishing landscape. Ediciones de la Flor, led by Kuki Miller and Daniel Divinsky, has been a cultural staple, publishing iconic works such as Quino's Mafalda, which has had a profound impact on Argentina's cultural identity. The publisher has declared it is not for sale and will continue operations through 2026.
