Tico author and journalist Oscar Núñez is getting ready to launch an English translation of his novel “Enclave de Luna,” a story based on the workings of a daily newspaper office.

Núñez said he will present his book in London and it will later be distributed around Great Britain, Australia and the United States by the publisher Aflame.

The novel tells a story “reflecting the life and the problems of a newsroom” and “the different economic and business pressures that journalists face,” Núñez said.

The original version of the book was published in 2004 by the publishing house Uruk. Manager Oscar Castillo said it's “one of the few literary works that transcends the barriers of language in our country.”

Núñez, who worked for 14 years as an editor and correspondent for the French news agency AFP, won the Latin American Educa award in 1996 for his first book “El Teatro Circular.”

His second book, “Los Gallos de San Esteban,” was published in Honduras in 2000 and is now part of they country's list of mandatory reading for schoolchildren.
