Latin-Oz literary ties

Esteban Bedoya, Paraguay's ambassador in Canberra, is also a writer whose new book of short stories, The Apocalypse According to Benedict, has been brought out by Cervantes Publishing in Sydney.

"I think it is the first book by a prize-winning Latin American writer to be published in Australia for national and international distribution," says its translator, Roy Boland, who is honorary professor of Spanish and Latin American studies at the University of Sydney.
