Román Polanco releases new book in New York

Dominican journalist and writer Román Polanco, based in New York City, has released his new book, ‘5 Esquinas NY, Testamento’. The work is available through Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

The book serves as a journalistic testament, utilizing Polanco’s personal experiences as a witness and participant in major historical events, including the September 11 attacks and the COVID-19 pandemic. Through chronicles, columns, and reflections, the author examines politics, culture, and society within the setting of New York.

Beyond historical documentation, Polanco uses the work to advocate for a deeper form of journalism and to address how individuals process information. He proposes methods to transform abstract data into meaningful mental associations to foster conscious memory and active learning.
