Something Fierce by Carmen Aguirre (Douglas & McIntyre), defended by Shad
Carmen Aguirre, who will be touring a one-woman play based on Something Fierce in 2012, is surprised by the public’s selection of her memoir about growing up as the daughter of Chilean revolutionaries, considering it just came out in May.
The Vancouver-based writer and playwright said she’s received many Facebook messages from fellow Chileans and other South Americans saying, “it’s their story,” too.
