That country will have a prominent space in this
fiesta of literature and books, where the richness of its
letters will be shown by way of the participation of a
delegation of writers and artists, the Prensa Latina news agency
reported.
“Reading is growing” is the slogan of the 2012 edition of this
annual event, which will also recall the bicentenary of the
rebellion led by Jose Antonio Aponte against the Spanish
colonial power on the island, and the centennial of the armed
uprising of the members of the Independent Party of Color.
The Fair will be dedicated to Cuban authors Zoila Lapique, 2002
National Social Sciences Prize winner, and Ambrosio Fornet, who
won the national prizes of Literature (2009) and Edition (2000).
The event will run until March 4 in various provinces, during
which a tribute to the
Caribbean peoples -a medley of different cultures sharing part
of their history- will be paid.
