Antonio Orlando Rodríguez—No Small Feat |
Antonio Orlando Rodríguez, the Cuban novelist who won this year’s Premio Alfaguara de Novela, has been traveling nonstop. His book tour brought him to New York City this past May, where he met with reporters eager to interview him on his latest accomplishment. Then, the Instituto Cervantes. (The event was moderated by his friend and translator, the author Ernesto Mestre-Reed.) Rodríguez kept his audience mesmerized with stories and pictures of the real Espiridiona Cenda, the tiny, turn-of-the-century woman who inspired his award-winning novel, Chiquita (Alfaguara). Not surprisingly, after the evening wrapped up, all
those present immediately lined up to greet the author and have him sign their books.
