MATADOR: CLUBS

Matador devotes an extra issue to the world of clubs, coinciding with the opening of Club Matador in Madrid. A look at a secret world, available only to its members, which has similar characteristics worldwide: the right of admission, privacy, standards sometimes quite unusual.
Matador reviews the history of private clubs analyzing three existing clubs and explores, through images and texts, the grounds of their eternal success. An issue that invites not to look through the keyhole, but to go beyond that door that says „Members only“ to discover the wonders hidden behind. With texts and graphic works of names like Luis Goytisolo, Rodrigo Fresán, Santiago Roncagliolo, Arthur Conan Doyle, GK Chesterton, Eduardo Arroyo or Jean-Marie del Moral.
