       They've announced the winner of this year's Premio Alfaguara de Novela -- not the biggest Spanish-language book prize, but at US$175,000 and with a solid list of previous winners, certainly worth paying some attention to. The winning title was: Contigo en la distancia, by Chilean author Carla Guelfenbein; see, for example, the report in El País, where it is described as: "una historia sobre los recovecos del talento y del amor".
       Never mind the Man Booker Prize-dwarfing payout: there were 707 entries -- some five times what the Man Booker deigns to consider .....
       Her novel The Rest is Silence did come out from Portobello Books a couple of years ago; see their publicity page, or get your copy at Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk.
