Carlos Barragán, The Yahoo Boys | Howard Mansfield, Invisible Monuments

Writer’s Voice: compelling conversations with authors who challenge, inspire, and inform.


What happens when the person you love doesn’t exist?

This week on Writer’s Voice, I talk with Carlos Barragán about The Yahoo Boys, his investigation into Nigeria’s romance scammers, which began with his own mother’s experience.

“Sometimes behind a perpetrator is another victim.” – Carlos Barragán

Then,  Howard Mansfield joins us to discuss Invisible Monuments, exploring why some memorials move us, why others don’t, and how we remember the past.

“It’s a back and forth between the monument and the person who’s visiting.” – Howard Mansfield
