The swearing-in of Zohran Mamdani as New York City's new mayor took place in the old City Hall subway station. Next week, Spanish author Javier Moro's novel about the Gilded Age architect Rafael Guastavino, who designed that station, will be published by Counterpoint Press

Buy this book from The Literate Lizard, currently 20% off: The Architect of New York by Javier Moro, translated by Thomas J. Hearn: https://theliteratelizard.com/book/9781640097469

A transportive work of historical fiction chronicling the life, loves, and iconic successes of Rafael Guastavino, the influential yet largely forgotten Spanish architect of New York’s Gilded Era.

Iconoclast. Genius. Womanizer. Architect Rafael Guastavino’s signature vaulted tile ceilings revolutionized Gilded Age New York City. The Oyster Bar in Grand Central, the Prospect Park Boathouse, and the iconic Old City Hall subway station number among his masterpieces. But while his works continue to imbue the city with the glamour of a bygone era, the man himself has been largely forgotten.

Told through the eyes of Guastavino’s son and business partner, Rafael Jr., Javier Moro’s magnetic prose brings to life the remarkable rags-to-riches journey of this influential immigrant family. Guastavino was a stubborn man, enamored of his own sense of destiny, but he was also a deeply compassionate father, as committed to his family as he was to his work, and equally defined by his successes in the latter realm as by his failures in the former.
