With his blue eyes, sandy blond hair and persistent half-smile, Luis Alberto Urrea could be from anywhere, and the blood in his veins is as motley as his writing.
Born in Tijuana to a father from the Mexican state of Sinaloa and a mother from New York, his award-winning fiction, nonfiction, poetry, essays and short stories come from both sides of the border.
Urrea caught the world’s eye in 1993 with the Christopher Award-winning “Across the Wire: Life and Hard Times on the Mexican Border.” Seven years and six acclaimed books later, he was voted into the Latino Literature Hall of Fame.”*
