Luis Alberto Urrea

I'm one of those readers who really needs to know about the author that he or she is reading. The link I posted is a talk that Urrea gave about his experiences writing about the Border and about his past, living in Tijuana and San Diego. He's a great storyteller and actually quite funny. I think this provides a good context of what motivated him to write The Devil's Highway as well as many great anecdotes.
