This year’s festival, “Solazú,” will celebrate the rich literary heritage of our neighbors to the south: Latin America and the Caribbean. Traveling the spine, seas and islands of the Americas, Aspen Summer Words 2012 will explore one of the most ancient and diverse regions on the planet — to reveal the stories that unite us all.
