However, his cultural life changed dramatically when he moved to New Jersey, to a neighbourhood in which his family was the only latina.\r\n\r\nWhen he was 20, he started to work as a reported at the <em>The Hartford Courant<\/em> in Connecticut, in which he was the only latino member. He was the one in charge of the sections addressing the Puerto Rican population of the city. Lantigua\u00a0 finally got in contact once again with his original culture.\r\n\r\nAfter several years moving and getting unsuccessful jobs, Lantigua was hired at the <em>The Washington Post<\/em> when he lived between Honduras and Nicaragua. During those years, the New Yorker wrote his two first novels.\r\n\r\nMore recently, he joined the <em>The Palm Beach Post<\/em>, focusing on the migrant workers issues in the States. Thanks to this job, he won two times the <strong>Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award<\/strong> and the <strong>World Hunger Year Award<\/strong>.\r\n\r\nLantigua\u2019s strong linkage to the Latin-American community has allowed the author to reflect in his novels the many experiences\u00a0 regarding social classes, racial discrimination and latino marginalisation in the US. His mystery novels, starred by the charismatic and tormented Willie Cuesta, are authentic bestsellers that have been largely supported both by the audience and by the critics.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>RELEVANT INFORMATION<\/strong>\r\n\r\nLantigua\u2019s novels and short stories, all of them set in latino atmospheres, were nominated to the <strong>Edgar Award<\/strong> and the <strong>Shamus Award<\/strong>. As a journalist, he obtained several awards, such as the <strong>Pulitzer Prize of Journalistic Investigation<\/strong>.\r\n\r\nThe Willie Cuesta Saga is such a bestseller in the United States. In the novels, Lantigua introduces to the audience a dark ex-private-detective from Little Havana (Miami), as well as the many peculiar and spooky adventures he lives.","_thumbnail_id":1370,"autor__galeria_archivos":"","idauthor":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>John Lantigua - Scenic\u00a0Rights<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.scenicrights.com\/en\/author\/john-lantigua\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"John Lantigua - Scenic\u00a0Rights\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Scenic Rights is the audiovisual co-agency of Arte P&uacute;blico Press.
