Luis Urrea
The lecture is free, though reservations are required by Feb. 24 to Bishops.com
Born in Tijuana, Mexico to a Mexican father and an American mother, Urrea has published extensively in all the major genres. He uses his dual-culture life experiences to explore greater themes of love, loss and triumph.
His non-fiction work, “The Devil’s Highway,” is the story of 26 Mexican immigrants who got lost in the Arizona desert. Of his presentation titled, “Universal Border: From Tijuana to the World,” Urrea said, “Borders don’t interest me. I’m really in the business of building bridges.”
