A Spanish Princess' Scandals
The Leonard Lopate Show | Sep 21, 2017
Chantel Acevedo, winner of the Latino International Award and Associate Professor of English in the MFA program at the University of Miami, joins us to discuss her latest novel, The Living Infinite. The novel is based on the true story of the Spanish princess Eulalia, who leaves her home in the Bourbon court to travel to Cuba and, then later, to the 1893 Chicago World Fair. While she is acting as an emissary of the Bourbon dynasty, she also has another reason for her trip: to secretly find a publisher for her scandalous autobiography.
Chantel Acevedo will appear in conversation with Santiago Gamboa at the Astoria Bookshop (31-29 31 St., Astoria) on Sept. 22 at 7 p.m. The event will be followed by a Q&A and book signing.
