Scott Timberg talks with Peruvia-born writer, Daniel Alarcón about his new novel, Lost City Radio.
“It's deliberate, he said, that the constant state of war in Lost City Radio in its nameless high-security state echoes more than only Peruvian history.
‘The war on terror that has been much publicized here is not anything new in a lot of parts of the world. In the U.K. and Ireland, they know all about it; in Latin America they know all about it. This is not new. And the way societies adapt to this kind of fear is not new.’" – from “Daniel Alarcón Steps Into a Brave New World,” by Scott Timberg, Los Angeles Times
