The Panamanian author Juan David Morgan, today gave a conference on “Panama, literature and identity,” the core of his literary work, at the Columbus Memorial Library of the Organization of American States (OAS) in Washington, DC.
"Panama is a country that struggles to find its identity and my historical novels are about the history of Panama," the Panamanian writer and lawyer, who donated all his works to the Library of the OAS.
The Panamanian writer mentioned several of his works, dealing with the separation of Panama and Colombia in 1903; the history of railway construction in Panama; the history of Panama in the nineteenth century, when the Central American country was united with Colombia; and the history of the U.S. invasion of Panama, which is called "Useless Scars.”
The Ambassador of Panama to the OAS, Guillermo Alberto Cochez, who introduced the author, said that " Morgan’s work fills an important gap in Panamanian literature because he takes you inside historical affairs largely unknown.”
The presentation was attended by the Ambassadors to the OAS from Canada, Allan Culham; the Dominican Republic, Robert Saladín; Guatemala, José Rodrigo Vielmann; the Secretary for External Relations of the OAS, Alfonso Quiñonez; the Chief Librarian of the Columbus Memorial Library, Beverly Wharton-Lake; and the Alternate Observer of France to the OAS, Lorenzo Shiavi.
Also present was a delegation from Panama headed by the Ambassador of Panama to the United States, Mario Jaramillo; the Ambassador of Panama to the OAS, Guillermo Cochez; the representative of Panama at the Inter-American Development Bank, Antonio De Roux, the Alternate Ambassador of Panama to the United Nations, Mary Morgan, and officials from the Permanent Mission of Panama to the OAS.
