XV Alfaguara Novel Prize goes to Leopoldo Brizuela for The Same Night
The award is worth 175,000 dollars
The Same Night is an existential thriller that explores the role of the citizen when faced with organized crime, reflecting on memory, our capacity to express the experience of horror and, above all; the intolerable recollection of our own cowardice.
"A disturbing, hypnotic and existential thriller."
ROSA MONTERO (President of the jury of the Alfaguara Novel Prize 2012)
The Same Night by Leopoldo Brizuela coming out in May in Spanish
