Letras Latinas Interviews: 2009 - 2014

Letras Latinas Blog, in the coming months, will be carrying out certain gestures as a way to pause and reflect on our first ten years. That’s right: 2014 marks our ten year anniversary. I joined the ILS in the summer of 2003, but Letras Latinas didn’t begin to take shape until 2004. The first of these gestures is below: a listing of the single-author interviews we have commissioned and posted. The author interview has become, I think, our forte. What we want to do in this area, moving forward, is involve more Notre Dame students. So stay tuned as Letras Latinas Blog strives to provide, increasingly, more opportunities for our students to test out and hone their skills in literary journalism.     —FA
