Listening to Latin America

daniel alarconWriter and radio producer Daniel Alarcón will present “Stories Everywhere: Listening to Latin America” at Boston College on February 28 at 7 p.m. in Gasson Hall 100. Alarcón’s powerful narrative storytelling—in English and Spanish, fiction and nonfiction, print and audio—chronicles individual lives and underreported topics against the backdrop of broader geopolitical and historical forces in the United States and Central and South America. He is co-founder, host, and executive producer of “Radio Ambulante,” an award-winning Spanish-language podcast distributed by NPR. He is a contributing writer at The New Yorker. He is the author of the novels At Night We Walk in Circles and Lost City Radio and the short story collections War by Candlelight and The King is Always Above the People, which was long-listed for the National Book Award. An associate professor at the Columbia University School of Journalism, Alarcón was named a 2021 MacArthur Fellow. This free BC Humanities Series lecture is supported by an Institute for the Liberal Arts Major Grant. RSVP here to reserve seating.
