Carolina De Robertis named 41st John Dos Passos Prize winner
Carolina De Robertis, a Uruguayan American author of five novels, is the 2022 winner of the John Dos Passos Prize for Literature, a premier literary prize given annually by Longwood University to a talented American writer who experiments with form, explores a range of voices and deserves more recognition.
De Robertis is best-known for the novels The President and the Frog (2021), Cantoras (2019) and The Gods of Tango (2015). De Robertis was chosen by the Dos Passos Prize jury from a short list of four finalists, which included Gina Apostol, Jaime Manrique and John Wray. As the winner of the prize, De Robertis will receive an honorarium and will visit Longwood’s campus on Wednesday, April 5, to receive the prize and read from their work.
