Abstract
El gran hotel Wes Anderson (2018) is an informative book by the Galician illustrator Nuria Díaz that experiments with materiality through the creation of figurative spaces that play with the reader’s role as a hotel guest, whose rooms can be visited page by page. Through them, the reader will learn about the life and work of the filmmaker Wes Anderson, as well as the most characteristic aspects of his professional work, by means of clear and aesthetically very careful information, giving special prominence to the visual component. The aim of this work is to analyse the way in which the proposal takes shape through the textual and compositional analysis of the book, paying special attention to its nature as a book-object and to the function of the paratexts, to conclude by reflecting on how its form and content bring it closer to or distance it from adults or young audiences.
