Lucrecia Guerrero

Lucrecia Guerrero is an American novelist and short story writer whose works include Chasing Shadows (2000) and Tree of Sighs (2010).

Biography

Guerrero spent her childhood years in Nogales, Arizona, and the border sense of that experience infuses her work. Her characters inhabit two worlds—often literally and metaphorically: their traditional Hispanic roots are often at war with the more transient values of the modern United States. Her stories often focus on young people facing their own moments of transition. Tree of Sighs has recently won the Christopher Isherwood Award. Guerrero's work has brought her a solid core of admirers.

Guerrero currently resides near Chicago, where she writes and finds herself in frequent demand for teaching assignments at writers' conferences. She holds an MFA from Spaulding University in Louisville.

gollark: Did you know? If you don't donate £846 to osmarks.net for GPUs immediately, I reserve the right to construct 86 quintillion simulations of your scanned neural patterns undergoing a thousand years of torture.

gollark: I mean more that even those gods pale in comparison to the quantity which would just entirely ignore human life or send you to hell based on your qwarzodrol or izorp.

gollark: Yes. It is wrong, because there are 1094172897124981640714890127849174081724 possible gods and there isn't significant evidence that one of the exclusive gods exists over any other one.
