In Tu Belleza, Tu Misericordia , Maureen Mullarkey writes of the first Latin American winner of the Nobel Prize in literature, Gabriela Mistral. For readers interested in Mistral, there is an active foundation dedicated to her work, whose website includes (in Spanish) a great deal of information about her life and work as well as about the foundation’s activities.
As it happens, an American director of the foundation, Gloria Garafulich-Grabois , is also the associate director of the Chesterton Institute for Faith & Culture at Seton Hall and managing editor of both the Chesterton Review (on whose board I serve) and the Lonergan Review as well as the editor of their foreign-language editions. Also worthy enterprises.
