Achievement and Honors

At Bread Loaf, a selective writers’ conference in Vermont’s Green Mountain National Forest, Carrillo shared excerpts of his novel about a Cuban high school teacher who moves in with his mother. To the delight of his audience members – and Carrillo himself! – his excerpts received a standing ovation; after which, Carrillo smiled broadly: “Good evening and thank you – my name is Hermano Carrillo!”

At GW, where he taught creative writing and Latin American literature, students often called him Hache. With his soft yet melodious voice and use of Spanish slang like mano and vato in English language lessons, Hache would often tell stories of how his family fled Fidel Castro’s Cuba in the 60s via yacht named La Habana.

Many of his anecdotes teetered on myth, yet his art of blurring truth and fiction helped address real psychological concerns.
