‘Julia Alvarez: A Life Reimagined’ Documentary Set to Air on PBS in September (EXCLUSIVE)


Timed to Hispanic Heritage Month, "Julia Alvarez: A Life Reimagined" will premiere on Tuesday, Sept, 17 at 9 p.m. ET on PBS.

A Dominican-American poet and novelist, Alvarez made literary waves beginning in the early 1990s with her semi-autobiographical novel “How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents” (published in 1991), followed by 1994’s “In the Time of the Butterflies,” about life under Dominican dictator Rafael Trujillo. “She was among the pioneers in creating a new literature that expanded the meaning of the ‘American Mainstream’ and reminds us of the famous line by Langston Hughes – I too sing America.” “Julia Alvarez: A Life Reimagined” is a co-production of Latino Public Broadcasting, Bosch & Company, Inc. and ITVS in association with “American Masters.”
