Alice Driver
Alice Driver is a writer from the Ozark Mountains. She is the author of “More or Less Dead: Feminicide, Haunting, and the Ethics of Representation in Mexico” (University of Arizona Press, 2015) and the translator of “Abecedario de Juárez” (University of Texas Press, 2022). In 2021, she sold a nonfiction book about the letters of illustrator Maurice Sendak (announcement from the publisher forthcoming). She is part of a team that worked on the photo book “Red Flag,” the fruit of the 2021 FotoEvidence Book Award with World Press Photo. The book looks at the impact of coronavirus in Latin America with an introduction by Jon Lee Anderson and texts by Marcela Turati and Alice. Alice’s long-form reporting and essays have appeared in The New Yorker (online), National Geographic, Oxford American, The New York Review of Books and Time, and on NPR, PRI.com and the BBC.
During the Logan Nonfiction fellowship, Alice will be working on her book “The Life and Death of the American Worker,” which chronicles the lives and deaths of immigrant essential workers at America’s largest meat and poultry processing company, Tyson Foods, and exposes how immigration law and labor exploitation put growth and profit over human life. The book will be published by Astra House. |
