Literature written by Dominicans on this side of the ocean is a reality that for a long time now cannot be avoided …<\/STRONG><\/SPAN><\/DIV>In this encounter, five of the most important narrators of Dominican literature, who are writing from abroad, will share with the public their literary vision of the world as well as their dreams. At the main event, scheduled for Monday February 25, at 6:30 p.m. in the Tower Theater in Miami on S.W. 8th Street, the following authors will present their work: Rey Emmanuel Andujar\u2019s novel Candela<\/EM> (Alfaguara, 2008); Rub\u00e9n S\u00e1nchez F\u00e9liz\u2019s anthology Travelers from Rocio: 25 Dominican Writers in the Diaspora <\/EM>(Viajeros del roc\u00edo: 25 narradores dominicanos de la di\u00e1spora <\/EM>– Ultramar, 2008); Alba E. Burgos Weber\u2019s Information and Stories from Yesterday (Datos y relatos del ayer<\/EM> – Soto Castillo, 2008). The event will be moderated by Cuban journalist, writer and resident of Santo Domingo, Luis Beiro \u00c1lvarez, cultural editor of the List\u00edn Newspaper.

Literature written by Dominicans on this side of the ocean is a reality that for a long time now cannot be avoided when one is referring to the literature of the Dominican Republic. Names such as Julia \u00c1lvarez, Junot D\u00edaz and Nelly Rosario have managed to capture a solid readership in the English language market. Something no less inspiring is happening in the Spanish-speaking world. A quick bird\u2019s eye view of the many book titles from the electronic media will reveal such names as Miguel An\u00edbal Perdomo, \u00c1ngel Garrido, Ren\u00e9 Rodr\u00edguez Soriano<\/A>, Guillermo Pi\u00f1a-Contreras and Miguel \u00c1ngel Forner\u00edn, among others who, every year, have published some of the most important and prize-winning literature in the Dominican Republic. Confirmation that the Dominican traveler <\/EM>has been making literary inroads, while in exile, for a long time comes in the form of work by past writing masters such as Pedro Henr\u00edquez Ure\u00f1a, Tom\u00e1s Hern\u00e1ndez Franco, Ricardo P\u00e9rez Alfonseca and \u00c1ngel Rafael Lamarche, who have built bridges that unite us all and keep us from forgetting and from being forgotten.
