“Illuminations, shadows and mirages. Things are not always what they seem.” This is the theme of the third edition of Prada Journal, the international literary contest dedicated to emerging writers, established by Prada and Giangiacomo Feltrinelli Editore. The new edition welcomed the participation of over two thousand writers worldwide. Kei Matsushima, Flávio Vinicius Moreira Costa, Billie Phillips and María Laura Rodríguez are the four winners selected by a jury composed of prestigious international literary names. Their stories, both in their original language and translated into English, make up this anthology, the Prada Journal – III Edition.
