In 2003, playwright Nilo Cruz won a Pulitzer Prize for drama with his play called "Anna in the Tropics." He's the first Latino to do this, and he's coming to Florida Atlantic University as part of the Playwright's Forum and Master Class Series on Sunday, Oct. 8. For Thursday's Sundial, Cruz sat down with ¸Û°ÄÌìϲÊSundial host Luis Hernandez to talk about what influences his writing.
Cruz also discusses his own experiences coming to America from Cuba, and how his immigrant experience as a 10-year-old has made it into some of his characters and storylines. He's not a writer who is afraid to dive into his personal history in his work — or share that history with students.
