Luis Alberto Urrea
About this listen
Examining the borders between one nation and another, between one person and another, Urrea reveals his mastery of the short form. This collection includes the Edgar-award winning "Amapola" and his now-classic "Bid Farewell to Her Many Horses," which had the honor of being chosen for NPR's "Selected Shorts" not once but twice.
Suffused with wanderlust, compassion, and no small amount of rock and roll, The Water Museum is a collection that confirms Luis Alberto Urrea as an American master.

"Deliciously composed...[Urrea writes] in a sweet but serious style...The plot gathers as much strength as the prose."
—Alan Cheuse, Chicago Tribune
