Yuri Herrera

Yuri Herrera is a political scientist, editor, and prize-winning novelist, considered one of the best contemporary Mexican writers. When we meet him he's starting his new novel, the story of Benito Juarez, the first President of Mexico of indigenous origin. What's less known about him is that he was exiled to New Orleans in 1853. We join Yuri as he walks the streets Benito would have walked, searching for the elusive threads of Juarez’s life.
