Carlos Nicolás Flores is the author of "Sex as a Political Condition: A Border Novel." He joins us to talk about how the idea for the book first set seed during his time at the University of Texas at El Paso two decades ago. After a visit to Cuba in 2000 as part of a writers' exchange, Flores revisited those ideas into an award-winning early draft. The book is published as part of Texas Tech University Press's Americas Series, and Flores explains why this publisher took a risk in releasing this book which touches upon some controversial themes.
