Gioconda Belli, the Nicaraguan writer and activist, has won the FIL Literature Prize in Romance Languages for what organizers describe as her renewal of literary language.
Belli will receive the recognition during the Guadalajara International Book Fair. The award places her work at the center of one of the Spanish-speaking world’s major literary gatherings.
Belli was interviewed by Revista Dominical in 2025. The announcement identifies her both as a writer and as an activist, linking the prize to a public career that has extended beyond literature.
The presentation is scheduled as part of the book fair, where the Nicaraguan author will formally receive the honor.
