What’s New With James Cañón?
A year and a half ago, James Cañón wrote a guest essay for Beatrice about writing Tales from the Town of Widows while he was still learning to become fluent in English. This spring, I found out that the novel had wound up on the shortlists for both the the Edmund White Debut Fiction Award and the Lambda Literary Award in the debut gay fiction categories—and just now I’ve learned that Cañón was named as a finalist in LatinoStories.com‘s “One Brown Book, One Nation” (a program tied into Hispanic Heritage Month, which begins today), and was the winner of France’s Le Prix des Lecteurs Vincennes. Congratulations, James!
