SUMMARY:37th Annual American Book Awards
DESCRIPTION:The Before Columbus Foundation announces the\nThirty-Seventh Annual\nAMERICAN BOOK AWARDS\nCeremonies\, October 30\, 2016\, 2:00–5:00 p.m. \nThe 2016 American Book Award winners will be formally recognized on Sunday\, October 30th from 2:00-5:00 p.m. at the SF Jazz Center\, Joe Henderson Lab\, 201 Franklin Street (at Fell)\, San Francisco\, CA. This event is open to the public. \nThe American Book Awards were created to provide recognition for outstanding literary achievement from the entire spectrum of America’s diverse literary community. The purpose of the awards is to recognize literary excellence without limitations or restrictions. There are no categories\, no nominees\, and therefore no losers. The award winners range from well-known and established writers to under-recognized authors and first works. There are no quotas for diversity\, the winners list simply reflects it as a natural process. The Before Columbus Foundation views American culture as inclusive and has always considered the term “multicultural” to be not a description of various categories\, groups\, or “special interests\,” but rather as the definition of all of American literature. The Awards are not bestowed by an industry organization\, but rather are a writers’ award given by other writers. \nThe 2016 American Book Award Winners are: \nLaura Da’\nTributaries (University of Arizona) \nSusan Muaddi Darraj\nCurious Land: Stories from Home (University of Massachusetts) \nDeepa Iyer\nWe Too Sing America:\nSouth Asian\, Arab\, Muslim\, and Sikh Immigrants Shape Our Multiracial Future (The New Press) \nMat Johnson\nLoving Day (Spiegel & Grau) \nJohn Keene\nCounternarratives (New Directions) \nWilliam J.

SUMMARY:Andrés Neuman
DESCRIPTION:Praise for Andrés Neuman: \n“Good readers will find something that can be found only in great literature\, the kind written by real poets\, a literature that dares to venture into the dark with open eyes and that keeps its eyes open no matter what . . . . The literature of the twenty-first century will belong to Andrés Neuman and a few of his blood brothers.” — Roberto Bolano \n\nAbout How to Travel Without Seeing: \nA kaleidoscopic\, fast-paced tour of Latin America from one of the Spanish-speaking world’s most outstanding writers. \nLamenting not having more time to get to know each of the nineteen countries he visits after winning the prestigious Premio Alfaguara\, Andres Neuman begins to suspect that world travel consists mostly of not seeing. But then he realizes that the fleeting nature of his trip provides him with a unique opportunity: touring and comparing every country of Latin America in a single stroke. Neuman writes on the move\, generating a kinetic work that is at once puckish and poetic\, aphoristic and brimming with curiosity. Even so-called non-places airports\, hotels\, taxis are turned into powerful symbols full of meaning. A dual Argentine-Spanish citizen\, he incisively explores cultural identity and nationality\, immigration and globalization\, history and language\, and turbulent current events. Above all\, Neuman investigates the artistic lifeblood of Latin America\, tackling with gusto not only literary heavyweights such as Bolano\, Vargas Llosa\, Lorca\, and Galeano\, but also an emerging generation of authors and filmmakers whose impact is now making ripples worldwide. \n  \nEye-opening and charmingly offbeat\, “How to Travel without Seeing: Dispatches from the New Latin America” is essential reading for anyone interested in the past\, present\, and future of the Americas.
