In which Francisco X. Stork gets excited about being compared to a certain classic YA author. You'll just have to click to find out who.

Stork talks about Marcelo with a Dutch reporter from Uphill Battle. Don't worry; they start speaking English after the intro.

Stork joins authors Bernardo Atxaga, Randa Jarrar, and Roger Sedarat, for a special PEN American Center program for high school students. Grab a snack—it's long, but fascinating.

Get your Marcelo fix on MP3 or CD (does anyone actually listen to those things anymore?).
