KPFA Radio 94.1FM presents Alice Walker & Other Authors Read New Stories by Eduardo Galeano in Tribute with Al Young, Alejandro Murguia, and Aurora Levins Morales
"Eduardo Galeano is our world's most loveable revolutionary" - Naomi Klein
"Story-hunter and gatherer Galeano has captured a covey of extraordinary tales from the wise everybodies of the world... they are medicine for our times - tales to break our hearts open and restore to us our humanity. To experience them alone is transformational. But to watch them soar to their full potential, they must be released from captivity and read aloud." - Sandra Cisneros
Eduardo Galeano (1940-2015), one of Latin America's most distinguished writers, was born in Montevideo. He lived in exile in Argentina and Spain for years before returning to Uruguay. Among his works are: The Open Veins of Latin America, Memory of Fire (3 volumes), The Book of Embraces, Children of the Days, and Walking Words.
The Bay Area authors chosen to read Eduardo's work in tribute are known for their exceptional writings in poetry and prose, their humanity, and their reliable solidarity.
