September 24: Daniel Alarcón is associate editor of the award-winning monthly Etiqueta Negra, published in his native Lima, Peru, and author of the 2005 story collection War by Candlelight. His first novel, Lost City Radio, was named a 2007 Best Book of the Year by the San Francisco Chronicle, Los Angeles Times, and Washington Post, among others.
