Read/See/Listen: Interviews with favorite authors Alice Walker and Isabel Allende on Democracy Now today. Alice Walker explains that the thread through all her work is love and reads from her inspiring new book “We Are the Ones We Have Been Waiting For: Light in a Time of Darkness,” and Isabel Allende reads from her new novel “Ines of My Soul,” and talks about Michelle Bachelet and immigration issues.
