Whenever I’m looking for something to read but don’t quite know what I want, I find myself looking at award lists for ideas. Those books must have won for a reason, right?  

The Premio Alfaguara de Novela is one of those awards. Considered one of the most prestigious awards in Spanish language literature, it’s been bestowed on such authors as Eliseo Alberto, Elena Poniatowska and Manuel Vincent, who had the honor of winning twice. In anticipation of the new winner’s announcement in 2021, check out these past winners and see if anything catches your eye.

You can sign up for a free library card here. If you are new to our eResources, check out these tutorial videos on how to get started.
