Helena Maria Viramontes

Their Dogs Came with Them (Atria)
Helena Maria Viramontes has written about L.A.-based Latino culture before -- but who could have expected this epic work about a neighborhood that is divided by a freeway, cut off and lost in Los Angeles. Viramontes explores the explosive insights that gave her the ability to grow as a novelist.

Intellectual, accessible, and provocative literary conversations.
