HAVANA, Jan. 6 (Xinhua) Rogelio Rodriguez, 74, has won Cuba s 2020 National Book Critics Circle Award for a book that examines Chinese influence on Cuban literature.
Published under the title The Chinese Trace in the Cuban Literature, Rodriguez s award-winning work provides readers with an in-depth analysis on how novels portray China s intangible cultural heritage like My Uncle, the Employee by Ramon Meza, and Paradiso by Jose Lezama Lima.
The author, also president of the Cuban Academy of the Spanish Language and senior professor at the University of Havana, said Chinese descendants have substantially contributed to enhancing historical links that unite the two countries.
