HAVAN A<br />

What began as a mo<strong>de</strong>st book fair foun<strong>de</strong>d by the famous <strong>Cuba</strong>n writer Alejo Carpentier, eventually<br />

became the most important literary event on the island. Every year tens of thousands of people pack<br />

the San Carlos <strong>de</strong> la Cabaña Fortress in Havana, attracted by book launchings of all genres and topics<br />

from <strong>Cuba</strong>n and foreign publishing houses, along with panel discussions, poetry readings, concerts,<br />

children’s events, and a crafts fair. After Havana, the fair travels to other <strong>Cuba</strong>n cities. The Fair will be<br />

<strong>de</strong>dicated this year to the People’s Republic of Angola and to the National Prize-winners for Literature<br />

and Social Sciences Daniel Chavarría and Pedro Pablo Rodríguez, respectively. Given that the fair<br />

attracts more and more public and exhibitors each year, the event’s organizers opened several subvenues<br />

in 2011, including Biblioteca Pública Rubén Martínez Villena, Centro Dulce María Loynaz,<br />

Pabellón <strong>Cuba</strong>, UNEAC and Centro <strong>de</strong> Estudios Martianos. The popular exhibition of <strong>Cuba</strong>n and<br />

international crafts will remain at El Morro.<br />
