 GALEANO\nMirrors: Stories of Almost Everyone\n\nOn first meeting President 
 Obama recently, President Hugo Chavez gave him a copy of  The Open Veins of 
  Latin America, a brilliant book written twenty years ago by Eduardo 
 Galeano. This news sent the book overnight to #2 on Amazon's bestseller 
 list.\n\nOne of Latin America’s most distinguished writers, journalists 
 and historians, Eduardo Galeano is the author of the Memory of Fire 
 Trilogy, Open Veins of Latin America, Soccer in Sun and Shadow, The Book of 
 Embraces, and many other works. Born in Montevideo, in 1940, Galeano lived 
 in exile in Argentina and Spain for many years before returning to Uruguay. 
 His work has inspired popular and classical music composers from all over 
 the world. He was the recipient of the first Lannan Prize for Cultural 
 Freedom. He has just been awarded “The Outstanding Citizen of the 
 South,” a new prize awarded by the Common Market of the South. His 
 admirers include Isabel Allende, Julio Cortazar, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, 
 Subcomandante Marcos, Ariel Dorfman, Arundhati Roy, Sandra Cisneros, Mike 
 Davis,  Studs Terkel, Howard Zinn, Naomi Klein, and of course Hugo Chavez.  
 \n \nMirrors is a history of the human adventure distilled into potent, 
 lyrical morsels, timeless stories boiled down to their poetic essence. 
 Galeano calls it his “most ambitious project since Memory of Fire,” the 
 landmark recreation of 500 years in the Americas. In Mirrors, his canvas 
 widens to take in 5,000 years of history and the breadth of the world in 
 portraits of “thinkers and the feelers, the curious, the condemned for 
 asking, rebels and losers and lovely lunatics who were and are the salt of 
 the earth\n\nKPFA believes Eduardo deserves, and will eventually get, the 
 Nobel Prize for Literature. \n\n\n
