El poder de la palabra y la experiencia transnacional: una entrevista con Giannina Braschi

Abstract

This interview with Giannina Braschi focuses on her experience as a writer in and out of Puerto Rico, her artistic sensibilities and literary techniques, as well as her overall reflections on the act of writing, freedom of expression, and how her bilingualism/biculturalism influence her writing. It also includes interesting revelations of her contact with other writers, philosophers, and artists, and the ways they have nurtured her creativity and existence. Above all, this is a portrait of an honest, crafty, and down-to-earth artist who is constantly revolutionizing the world of letters as we know it today with her insightful vision and commentary, with her play on words and languages, and with her transnational mindset and worldview.
