Sergio García Sánchez and Lola Moral Create New Yorker Cover Celebrating Books

Sergio García Sánchez and Lola Moral, an artistic duo from Granada, Spain, designed the cover for The New Yorker’s Fiction Issue, set to be released on June 8, 2026. Their artwork illustrates a community deeply engaged in the world of literature. The pair collaborates closely, with Sánchez focusing on the drawings while Moral adds color, brainstorming ideas together. They noted that their home is a sanctuary of books, found in every space, even the bathroom, where they and their children read and study. Citing Granadan author Federico García Lorca, they remarked, "Man does not live by bread alone..." Additionally, the article highlights other New Yorker covers celebrating reading, featuring artists like Helen E. Hokinson and Maira Kalman. The cover and related cartoons can be purchased at the Condé Nast Store.
