Humor as the Protagonist of the Fair

By dedicating this edition to humor, the Madrid Book Fair seeks to highlight the relevance of this genre within the cultural landscape. The organization plans for this theme to permeate the numerous activities and presentations that will be organized. It is about reclaiming a literary genre that often does not receive all the critical attention it deserves.

Features of the upcoming edition:
  • 85th edition, scheduled for late spring 2026.
  • Central theme: humor in literature.
  • The official poster will be unveiled in February, generating anticipation.

A Campaign with Comic Suspense

There is an ironic wink in the communication strategy: the humor poster will not be visible until next month. This deadline maintains the intrigue and seems to deliberately practice a comic suspense that already anticipates the tone of the fair. The wait to see Pang's design thus becomes the first joke of an event that promises to celebrate laughter and literary intelligence. 😄🎨
