Share In Chicago, people are very excited about Pope Leo XIV, or Father Bob, as those who’ve known Robert Francis Prevost a long time reflexively call him. It’s titillating to imagine Pope Leo roaming the city, chowing down on an Italian-beef sandwich, scarfing a deep-dish pizza, and taking in a White Sox game. “Da Pope.”Many Chicagoans I’ve spoken with have shared their six-degrees-of-separation stories.

Marie Arana has had a fascinating career as an editor and writer of both fiction and nonfiction. She is the author of the novels Cellophane and Lima Nights; amemoir called American Chica; a history of Latin America titled Silver, Sword, and Stone; and a stunning biography of Simón Bolívar, the so-called Liberator of Latin America. Arana was the editor of the Washington Post’s Book World and the inaugural literary director of the Library of Congress.

In Chicago, people are very excited about Pope Leo XIV. Will the Chicago-born Pope give a much-needed boost to the Catholic Church in the city and in other areas of the United States where Catholicism is on the decline? https://t.co/u7MchM8x7U
In Chicago, we're having a moment with Pope Leo XIV. But will it amount to more than that--a renewal of the church here? This was a fun one for me. https://t.co/GYlLJPdBc7
The new ep. of Writing Latinos, feat. Justin Torres, is one of my favorites. We tried something I've been wanting to do: read a short piece together and discuss. The Afro-Puerto Rican writer Jesús Colón's vignette, "Youth: The Palisades as a Backdrop" was perfect. Have a listen!
In a new episode of “Writing Latinos,” @gerry_cadava chats with novelist Justin Torres, author of “We the Animals” (@MarinerBooks) and “Blackouts” (@fsgbooks) about Jesús Colón’s “Youth: The Palisades as a Backdrop.” https://t.co/uPd2UX4n6m
