Valeria Luiselli (Author)
Biography:
Born in Mexico City and growing up in South Korea, South Africa, and India, Valeria Luiselli writes with dry humor and deftly controlled prose in both Spanish and English, often wrestling with the complexity of translation and draws from an unusually broad range of Latin American, American, and European literary traditions.
Luiselli forges new forms of writing that interweave multiple voices, those of other writers, readers, translators, and the children she interviews, and poses profound questions about the various ways we piece together stories and pass them on to subsequent generations.
She is the winner of two Los Angeles Times Book Prizes, the Carnegie Medal, and an American Book Award, and has been nominated for the National Book Critics Circle Award, the Kirkus Prize, and the Booker Prize. She has been a National Book Foundation “5 Under 35” honoree and the recipient of a Bearing Witness Fellowship from the Art for Justice Fund. Her work has appeared in the New York Times, Granta, and McSweeney's, among other publications, and has been translated into more than 20 languages. Luiselli is a writer in residence at Bard College and lives in New York City.
