Save the date! This September 12th, as part of the
Celebrate Mexico Now Festival, the
Mexican Cultural Institute of New York and NYU's King Juan Carlos I of Spain Center will host the presentation of my anthology of Mexican fiction and literary prose,
Mexico: A Traveler's Literary Companion. I am delighted that, accompanying me will be some of the translators---
Harry Morales and Daniel Shapiro--- as well as Mexican writers
Monica Lavin and
Pedro Angel Palou.
Click here for the info about the event, which is free and open to the public, so if you're in town, consider yourself invited! And
