Abstract

Born in Lima, and raised in the United States since the age of three, author, editor, journalist, podcast producer, and translator Daniel Alarcón tracks his experiences from Peru to Birmingham, Alabama, New York City, Iowa City, and the Bay Area in California. He has received critical acclaim and international awards for his fiction, journalism, and podcast Radio Ambulante. He is not only an active contributor to literary magazines in the United States but he has also played a significant role in Peruvian/Latin American literary circles. He discusses how his experiences as much in Peru as in the United States have made him the writer he is today as a translator of cultures, languages, and worlds that would not reach an English-speaking audience otherwise.
