Although I have read in various places that Malinca's founding year is 1960, that date is clearly wrong, because the first publications of his novels date back to 1955. Noticing the sales figures in popular literature, Merli decided to create a company parallel to Poseidon, called Malinca. At 81 he says he’s had a very lucky and enjoyable life. These days he lives in Arizona and spends a good deal of his time gardening. I gave him a call, the last time I’d spoken to him being in the late 1980s. So naturally I started wondering what Richard Prather was doing these days.

This was the case of the Catalan exile Joan Merli Pahissa (1901-1995), founder of Poseidón, a prestigious publishing house created in Argentina that to date had focused on more classical literature and books on art and architecture.
