To experience them alone is transformational. But to watch them soar to their full potential, they must be released from captivity and read aloud." - Sandra Cisneros Eduardo Galeano (1940-2015), one of Latin America's most distinguished writers, was born in Montevideo. He lived in exile in Argentina and Spain for years before returning to Uruguay. Among his works are: The Open Veins of Latin America, Memory of Fire (3 volumes), The Book of Embraces, Children of the Days, and Walking Words. The Bay Area authors chosen to read Eduardo's work in tribute are known for their exceptional writings in poetry and prose, their humanity, and their reliable solidarity.
