PUREPLAY PRESS A WINNER IN INTERNATIONAL LATINO BOOK AWARDS
Breve historia de Cuba by Jaime Suchlicki, published by Pureplay Press in
late 2006, has won Best Book of the Year from the International Latino Book
Awards in the Spanish-language History/Politics category. The contest
results were announced on Thursday, May 31 at Book Expo America in New York.
While these awards carry no financial gift, their prestige is high. Major
publishers, along with independents like Pureplay Press, compete for them.
Breve historia de Cuba is the second book from Pureplay Press to win a “Best
of the Year” from the Latino Book Awards. The first, in 2004, was our
bilingual poetry book, Por el camino de Sade/Sade’s Way by Néstor Díaz de
Villegas. The award to Suchlicki’s book carries extra significance, given
the topicality of its subject matter and Cuba’s ongoing political crisis.
The International Latino Book Awards is a nine-year-old contest, organized
by the California-based group Latino Literacy Now. This year, contestants
submitted books in 58 categories. The number of entries, according to the awards’
organizers, constituted a record high.
