“The novel Nemo (Tusquets) by Gonzalo Hidago Bayal (Higuera de Albalat, Cáceres, 1950) has won the Tigre Juan Prize for Fiction

In their award announcement the jury described it as an important work destined to become a classic which has contributed unforgettable passages to the contemporary novel.

The award is given to unjustly overlooked works published in Spanish in Spain during the recent literary season, restoring them to their rightful place in the limelight.

(…) Another prize went to El espectáculo del tiempo (The Spectacle of Time, Candaya), by the Argentine writer Juan José Becerra (Junín, 1965).”
