Yes! There are lots of beautiful new editions out in Spanish this year, though I do have to advise against the Duke Press edition if you're opting for an English translation...

Thank you, Emily, that is really interesting. I see you can get the book, The Vortex in paperback for under £12.00. Best wishes, MPK
