Short biography
From 2009 National Book Festival brochure: "Although Julia Alvarez was born in New York City, her family moved to the Dominican Republic shortly after birth, where she spent the majority of her childhood. In 1960, when she was 10, her family returned to the United States, fleeing the Dominican Republic because of her father's involvement in an unsuccessful attempt to overthrow the dictator Rafael Trujillo. Alvarez calls herself an American, yet her writing bridges the realms of Latina and American culture."

Author Disambiguation

How many authors?

Julia Alvarez is currently considered a "single author." If one or more works are by a distinct, homonymous authors, go ahead and split the author.

This entry includes…

Combine with…

What?

Q: What is this feature for/why is it necessary?

A: Because LibraryThing draws from so many different libraries, it can't enforce a single name for a given author. "Also known as" lets LibraryThing users combine author's names easily, so collections match up and everything runs smoothly.

Q: Can I combine with an author not suggested above?

A: Yes you can.

Q: I know an author is separate, but someone keeps combining them! Can I take a name off the combination list?

A: Yes you can.

Look up! Everything in the "Combine with..." section now has a link to "never combine." Use this feature wisely. "Marc Twain" may be idiotic, but misspelling should still be combined. "Mark Twain" and "Edward Gibbon" should not.

Q: What authors have already been slated to "never combine" with this author?

A: No authors.

Q: I am the someone and I'm right!

A: Take it to the Combiners group.
