* Alarcon in Ghana, 1998.
Author Daniel Alarcon has started posting snippets of a sort of real, sort of fake personal history, in Spanish, at Etiqueta Negra. Alarcon, a Peruvian American global hepcat who has lived in Alabama, New York, West Africa, and Lima, collaborates with the Peru-based magazine from his current base in Oakland.
* Here again is my 2007 interview with Alarcon for LA Weekly, and here's homie's Wiki. Alarcon's upcoming second novel is said to be about an undiscovered ocean.
