This October, Dallas will host the Hay Festival Forum—a global gathering of writers, musicians, and thinkers whose very purpose is to celebrate the richness of diverse voices.

"In Waiting for Godínez, Olivas suggests that we may indeed all be condemned to live in a Beckett play. The tragedy is that for too many—those who wait in detention centers, or in legal limbo—the absurd is not metaphor but reality."
