I wanted to tell the story behind the story of The Namesake, David Alonzo. I mention it a little in the preface but I think there is no better way than to explain myself than in a video.
I love writing magical realism because I believe in the magic a little. For example, I believe that I have had a life blessed with love because of my name. I want my son to have the same blessing, so I named him David as well.
The main character in The Namesake, David Alonzo, David Luís, also feels that he has been blessed and want to pass that blessing on to his son. Unfortunately, it doesn't work out so well for David Alonzo.
In this episode, I talk about the inspiration for the story The Namesake, David Alonzo.
