The Guggenheim Fellowship is an honour reserved for a fraction of the most distinguished artists, scientists and scholars performing at the pinnacle of their careers. On the basis of recommendations from hundreds of expert advisers the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation awards fellowships annually to artists, scholars and scientists who have excelled in their fields and "demonstrated exceptional capacity for productive scholarship or exceptional creative ability in the arts". Past fellows include Nobel laureates and recipients of other prestigious prizes such as Aaron Copland, Juan Gelman, Henry Kissinger, Vladimir Nabokov, Nicanor Parra, Octavio Paz, Martha Graham and Philip Roth. This year Eduardo Espina is one of the thirty-seven new Fellows in the Latin America and Caribbean section, chosen from almost 500 applicants.
