“Adept in both the short story and novel, he is a writer's writer, a craftsman of the highest order, but with a heart,” said Steve Gutierrez, professor of English, director of the CSUEB creative writing program, and event organizer.

Born in Lima, Peru in 1977, Alarcón was raised from the age of 3 in Birmingham, AL. He is associate editor of “Etiqueta Negra,” a monthly magazine based in Lima. His short-story collection, “War by Candlelight,” was a finalist for the 2006 Hemingway Foundation/PEN Award. His first novel, “Lost City Radio,” was named a Best Novel of the year by the “San Francisco Chronicle,” the “Washington Post,” and others. The “New Yorker” named him one of 20 promising writers under 40.

Alarcón is a visiting scholar at the University of California, Berkeley Center of Latin American Studies. Earlier, he was a Distinguished Visiting Writer at Mills College, and a Visiting Writer at California College of the Arts.
