Show Notes

In this Season 1 finale, Dina Villegas reads and discusses her graceful, arresting, uplifting and disturbing ballad of ambition and imperfection, “The 100 Melodies of Dan Van,” which she developed in a lower-division fiction workshop at California State University, Long Beach. A first-year student majoring in Political Science, Villegas is currently at work on a magical-realist fantasy series she has envisioned since childhood. She calls herself an undercover anthropologist, watches people from afar, and enjoys writing stories that she insists no one will ever read.
