A conversation about political cartoons, translation, Shakespeare, and Reputations... with Juan Gabriel Vásquez.
Colombian author, Juan Gabriel Vásquez, is best known for his novel, The Sound of Things Falling. Before his novels were published--he has several--he earned degrees in law and Latin American Literature, worked as a translator, and wrote political columns for publications in Colombia, London and Madrid.
