Valeria Luiselli Biography

Valeria Luiselli is one of the most popular and richest Author who was born on August 16, 1983 in Mexico City, Mexico.

Faces in the Crowd (2011) is a triptych that follows the perspectives of the narrator, a young mother living and working as a translator in New York, the protagonist of that mother’s semi-autobiographical novel, and Gilberto Owen, a 20th-century Mexican poet. These perspectives are woven together throughout the story.

She has been interested in writing about and working to improve the plight of asylum-seeking children from Latin America, a theme that is present in her book Lost Children Archive. She began writing Lost Children Archive in 2014 “as a loudspeaker for all of [her] political rage” after having served as a court translator for children from Latin America involved in the migration crisis. The creation of this book was also a reaction to her daughter working to understand the migration crisis for herself. Before completing Lost Children Archive in 2019, Luiselli published Tell Me How It Ends: An Essay in 40 Questions that uses the format of the questions she used in the court when interviewing the children, and includes her own experience with applying for a green card. The time spent writing the essay allowed her to write Lost Children Archive with “more open questions and open ends instead of political stances that are too loud and obvious by themselves.”
