The House of Peruvian Literature is a cultural institution, promoter of reading and Peruvian literature. For some years now, it has awarded the Casa de la Literatura Peruana Prize to various personalities in recognition of their literary career; These personalities include Mario Vargas Llosa, Carlos Germán Belli, Estuardo Núñez, Antonio Gálvez Ronceros, Edgardo Rivera Martínez, Oswaldo Reynoso, José Miguel Oviedo, Carmen Ollé, Leoncio Bueno, Luis Urteaga Cabrera, Óscar Colchado Lucio, Cronwell Jara Jiménez and Rossella Di Paul.
The 2021 Prize will be awarded to our brother Alfredo Mires Ortiz, "in recognition of his innovative vision of books, reading and literature in dialogue with the needs of the community, work associated with the Network of Rural Libraries of Cajamarca", as the organizing institution of this recognition mentions in one of its notes.
We, as the Network of Rural Libraries, were informed of this decision a couple of months ago and we were greatly surprised when the team responsible for the House of Literature based this decision on abundant information about our Network; and it is not data that can be found in our blog or in some documents that account for our work and Alfredo's work in research and literary production, but about many details that can only be perceived when reading our Network, when reading Alfredo. This encouraged us to accept this recognition.
Since then, we have seen all the care and effort that the team responsible for this award has put into the preparation and dissemination process.
We know that there are still a few days to go before the official ceremony, but we already feel the 2021 Casa de la Literatura Peruana Award as a very important part of our history, not only because of the recognition as such, but also, and above all, because of the interest, the dedication and appreciation that we observe in every detail.
Thank you, dear friends of the House of Peruvian Literature!
