Event Description:
LALPRS will be sponsoring an event with Pedro Cabiya – a Puerto Rican writer living in the Dominican Republic. This event is co-sponsored by the department of Languages & Literatures. Cabiya is today one of the most prominent voices in the Hispanic Caribbean. A very prolific writer, he has published in a wide variety of genres: poetry, novels, short stories and hard-boiled graphic novels. Many of his works have acquired cult status. He is also a screenwriter and most recently one of his novels have been adapted to film: Reinbou.
For our event at Lehman, Cabiya will hold a conversation and will read from his new novel that will be published in English.We will also screen the film Reinbou (2017). The novel, and the film adaptation, follow the life of a boy living in Santo Domingo during the 1970’s, while simultaneously revealing the intrigues of the Dominican Civil War that took place a decade earlier in 1965. |
