En un especial de día feriado, dedicamos la hora del programa a Isabel Allende, una de las mayores novelistas de Latinoamérica y Estados Unidos. Esta semana fue galardonada con la Medalla Presidencial de la Libertad. Allende es autora de veinte libros entre ellos, La casa de los espíritus, Paula e Hija de la fortuna. Su novela más reciente es un policial y se titula Destripador. Sus libros han sido traducidos a treinta y cinco idiomas y lleva vendidos casi sesenta millones de ejemplares en todo el mundo. Actualmente, Allende vive en California, pero nació en Perú en 1942 y viajó por el mundo como hija de un diplomático chileno. Salvador Allende, presidente de Chile desde 1970 hasta el 11 de septiembre de 1973 cuando Augusto Pinochet dio un golpe de Estado apoyado por la CIA y tomó el poder, era primo hermano de su padre. Salvador Allende murió en el palacio de gobierno ese día. Más tarde Isabel Allende huiría de su Chile natal hacia Venezuela. En abril, Amy Goodman la entrevistó en el Consejo de las Américas en Nueva York, poco después de la publicación de Destripador. En esa amplia conversación, Allende analiza su carrera literaria y sus recuerdos de Chile antes y durante el golpe.
In a holiday special, we spend the hour with Isabel Allende, one of Latin America's and the United States' greatest novelists. Just this week she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Allende is the author of 20 books, including "The House of the Spirits," "Paula" and "Daughter of Fortune." Her latest is a mystery novel titled "Ripper." Her books have been translated into 35 languages, sold close to 60 million copies around the world. Allende now lives in California, but she was born in Peru in 1942 and traveled the world as the daughter of a Chilean diplomat. Her father's first cousin was Salvador Allende, Chile's president from 1970 until Sept. 11, 1973, when Augusto Pinochet seized power in a CIA-backed military coup. Salvador Allende died in the palace that day. Isabel Allende would later flee from her native Chile to Venezuela. In April, Amy Goodman conducted a public interview with Isabel Allende at the Americas Society/Council of the Americas in New York shortly after the publication of "Ripper." In this wide-ranging conversation, Allende discusses her literary career and her memories of Chile before and during the coup.

This is a rush transcript. Copy may not be in its final form.
AMY GOODMAN: Today we spend the hour with Isabel Allende, one of Latin America's and the United States' greatest novelists. She's the author of 20 books, includingThe House of the Spirits, Paula, Daughter of Fortune. Her latest is a mystery novel based in the Bay Area titledRipper. Her books have been translated into 35 languages, sold over 57 million copies around the world.
Isabel Allende now lives in California. She was born, though, in Peru in 1942 and traveled the world as the daughter of a Chilean diplomat. Her father's first cousin was Salvador Allende, Chile's president from 1970 to September 11th, 1973, when Augusto Pinochet seized power in a CIA-backed military coup in Chile. Salvador Allende died in the palace that day. Isabel Allende would later flee from her native Chile and lived in exile in Venezuela.
On Monday, President Obama awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: When Isabel Allende learned that her grandfather in Chile was dying, she started writing him a letter. Night after night she returned to it, until she realized she was actually writing her first novel. She never really stopped. Her novels and memoirs tell of families, magic, romance, oppression, violence, redemption—all the big stuff. But in her hands, the big became graspable and familiar and human. In exile from Chile by a military junta, she made the U.S. her home. Today, the foundation she created to honor her late daughter helps families worldwide. She begins all her books on January 8th, the day she began that letter to her grandfather years ago. "Write to register history," she says. "Write what should not be forgotten."
