In this latest episode of Writing Latinos, we talk with Álvaro Enrigue about the first-ever English translation of his novel Now I Surrender, published by Riverhead Books. Enrigue is the author of many other books, including the widely acclaimed You Dreamed of Empires, set in the immediate aftermath of the Spanish Conquest. Now I Surrender is also set mainly in the past, during the Apache Wars in Arizona that led to Geronimo’s capture. It was great to hear Enrigue’s thoughts about Geronimo’s legacy in Mexico, desert borderlands, road trips through the Southwest, and how Latino identity gets shaped through the experience of diaspora. Thank you for tuning in!
