Today Eduardo G
aleano died. He is one of my favorite writers. A fierce advocate for the poor, the least, the indigenous, the woman, the child, some of his most famous works are:
- Open Veins of Latin America
- The epic Memory of Fire trilogy
- Futbol in Sun and Shadow
I leave you with a review of one of Galeano’s latest works, written by Teju Cole.
