Episode description
La Llorona is a strangely misogynistic legend - a woman who gets dumped, goes crazy and kills herself and her kids? Author V. Castro joins us to explore her new book The Haunting of Alejandra, which flips the curse of La Llorona on its head. She takes us behind the scenes of her book. We explore her heritage as a Mexican American woman, the legacy of patriarchy and colonialism and how she fights back with her pen.
