Luis Alberto Urrea

June 3, 2023 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm

The Tuesday Agency 404 East College Street, Suite 408

Join us at 6:30 in the Tuesday Agency office in the Chauncey Building to hear Luis Albert Urrea talk about his new novel based on his mother’s service in WWII, Good Night, Irene.  Good Night, Irene isn’t just a marvelous novel, though it is indeed marvelous. It’s a marvelous novel that returns the brave Donut Dollies and the WWII Clubmobile Corps to their rightful place in history. With grace and compassion, Luis Alberto Urrea makes their story soar again.”  —Ann Hood

A finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for his landmark work of nonfiction The Devil’s Highway, now in its thirty-fourth paperback printing, Luis Alberto Urrea is the author of numerous other works of nonfiction, poetry, and fiction, including the national bestsellers The Hummingbird’s Daughter and The House of Broken Angels, a National Book Critics Circle Award finalist. A recipient of an American Academy of Arts and Letters Award, among many other honors, he lives outside Chicago and teaches at the University of Illinois Chicago.
