Hispanic author reflects on life, writing - Sandra Benitez - University of Arkansas

“By way of Mexico, El Salvador, Missouri and Minnesota, an author spoke Wednesday evening about the importance of sharing and looking for stories.

Sandra Benitez, author of “A Place Where the Sea Remembers” and “Night of the Radishes,” was the fourth distinguished Latin American author to come to the UA, a tradition that has become a staple of the Hispanic Heritage Month celebrations.

“I am so impressed with your campus,” Benitez said to the audience of about 300 people at the Union Theatre. “I am so impressed with your population, your international student population,” she added, citing the more than 100 countries represented at the UA.”
