Juan Martinez is the author of Best Worst American: Stories. He was born in Bucaramanga, Colombia and now resides in Chicago. On “Stories, But Shorter,” Juan reads “Character Limit,” a short story originally published in The Mississippi Review, about a Latinx navigating with his family through Chicago the day after Trump won the presidential election. Afterward, Juan and Cassi reflect on pulling from real-life experiences for writing, sci-fi and how to have a healthy relationship with Twitter. Juan teaches at Northwestern University.
