Join Festival of the Arts Boca from Luis Alberto Urrea’s “From Tijuana to the World.”

NPR called Luis Alberto Urrea a literary "bad-ass." The author and passionate humanist will join us for a talk about life in a dual culture.

A 2005 Pulitzer Prize finalist for nonfiction and member of the Latino Literature Hall of Fame, Urrea is the critically acclaimed and best-selling author of 17 books, winning numerous awards for his poetry, fiction and essays. Born in Tijuana to a Mexican father and American mother, Urrea is most recognized as a border writer, though he says, “I am more interested in bridges, not borders.”
