Bard Prison Initiative Announces Javier Fuentes as Paris Review Visiting Professor

The Bard Prison Initiative (BPI), in partnership with the Paris Review, is pleased to announce that Javier Fuentes has joined its faculty through the Paris Review Visiting Professorship, a position created for a distinguished writer to teach a course on literature that has inspired them. Fuentes, a Spanish-American writer and 2018 Lambda Literary Fellow, is the author of Countries of Origin, a novel which chronicles a tumultuous, passionate love affair between two young men from vastly different worlds during one, extraordinary summer in Spain. Fuentes’s first course for BPI, called Physical and Psychological Spaces in Literature, will explore the way time and place affect the structure of literary narrative. The Paris Review Visiting Professorship is just one of many additions that BPI, now in its 25th year, is embarking on for expanding its academic program, faculty, and community.
