Don't Interrupt Me, Por Favor

The Inimitable Luis Alberto Urrea

28 Feb 2020

Description

No one conveys the suffering, courage, joy, and spirit of those who dwell in the U.S.-Mexico borderlands better than Pulitzer finalist and master storyteller Luis Alberto Urrea, whether it’s the horror of “The Devil’s Highway” or the allure of La Gloriosa in “The House of Broken Angels.” Urrea, whose father was Mexican and mother was from New York, talks about how the culture wars in his home shaped who he is today, the controversy surrounding the Jeanine Cummins novel “American Dirt,” and his Guggenheim project, a book about his mother's bravery as a Red Cross worker on the World War II frontlines. Special thanks to Allee Sprung at Acast, Brody Dryden at KAMP Student Radio, and Connor Button, theme music creator.

Ya sea el horror de "The Devil's Highway" o el encanto de la Gloriosa en "La Casa de los Ángeles Rotos". Urrea, de padre mexicano y madre neoyorquina, habla sobre cómo las guerras culturales en su casa conformaron al autor que él es hoy día; sobre la controversia que rodea a la novela de Jeanine Cummins, "American Dirt", y sobre la beca Guggenheim que dedica a un próximo libro sobre la historia de su madre; valiente trabajadora de la Cruz Roja en primera línea de fuego durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Nuestro agradecimiento especial a Allee Sprung de Acast, a Brody Dryden de KAMP Student Radio y a Connor Button, creador de la sintonía.
