Francomacorisano Pride! Gustavo Olivo Peña shines with his new work
Writer Gustavo Olivo Peña, from San Francisco de Macorís, explores Dominican identity in his award-winning literary work.

My beautiful people of Serie 56, today we celebrate the talent of our land with news that fills all of us francomacorisanos who hustle hard over here in the United States with pride.
It's about our dear Gustavo Olivo Peña, originally from San Francisco de Macorís and born in 1958, who has once again captured the spotlight in the literary world with his work titled Desde un costado de la (des)memoria.
This book, which stands tall after having won the José Ramón López National Short Story Prize in the years 2022 and 2026, invites us to reflect deeply on Dominican identity and the most intimate corners of our consciousness.
Through its pages, the author immerses us in stories ranging from everyday life to human dilemmas, once again proving the quality and brilliance that flow from our Duarte province to the entire world.
