Notes: "In A Thousand Forests in One Acorn, each author's section consists of a biographical introduction (penned by Valerie Miles), followed by an interview broken into three sections, in which the authors explain whey they think the pieces that follow are the best they've ever written and discuss the varying influences on their writing-- the "acorn" of their works. This is followed by the pieces themselves-- the "thousand forests" that sprung from that kernel -- as well as a detailed bibliography of all their works in both English and Spanish..."--Page [3] of cover.
