The event, entitled “De Premios y Libros” (Of Awards and Books), will take place at the institution’s Manuel Galich Hall and feature the launch of this work by Venezuelan poet Esmeralda Torres, winner of the 2025 Casa de las Americas Prize.

In addition to fostering an encounter with the text, the program includes the distribution of the institution’s publications this Wednesday.

The 66th edition of the Casa de las Americas Literary Prize is open this year in the genres of testimonial literature, historical-social essay, and theater.

The winners in the first two categories will be announced on April 24 during the closing gala at the Che Guevara Hall, while the theater jury will reveal the results on May 28, due to the large number of titles received.

Although the competition is being held with certain limitations due to the current complex situation, it maintains the high standard of quality that distinguishes it and allows it to enjoy prestige in Cuba and internationally.
