Chicago Amplified: Recording of Book Event at Instituto Cervantes

Here is the link to the audio recording that was done by a local public radio station of the November 17 book event at the Instituto Cervantes in Chicago. It begins with introductory remarks by the director of the Argentine Consulate in Chicago, the translation’s publisher Jay Miskowiec, and Professor Rosa Tezanos-Pinto of Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis (IUPUI); followed by my own remarks about the history of my involvement with the text that became Passionate Nomads; Maria Rosa Lojo’s presentation about her personal history and that of the original novel; and concludes, finally, with my brief reading from the translated text.

The presentation is entirely in English, so Spanish-language proficiency not required. Pleasant listening!
