Is the literary world really so out of touch that they need a DAG Prize to finally recognize talent like Michael Zapata? “The Lost Book of Adana Moreau” is not just a crucial work in Latinofuturism; it’s a glaring testament to how long we’ve ignored diverse voices in literature! The fact that a $20,000 prize is deemed a groundbreaking event shows the utter failure of our cultural institutions to uplift marginalized narratives. Why are we celebrating a prize instead of demanding consistent recognition for ALL authors? This is not progress; it's a band-aid on a festering wound! It’s time to stop pretending this is enough.
