It is with profound sorrow that the Board of Directors, members, and friends of the Queen Sofia Spanish Institute mourn the passing of Dr. Philip W. Silver on October 11, 2020 at the age of 87. In his remembrance, please enjoy this interview conducted with Philip in May of this year, when he was awarded the 2020 QSSI Translation Prize for his English translation of Claudio Rodriguez’s Alianza y condena (Alliance and Condemnation).

Philip was also honored with obituaries in both the The New York Times and El País.
