Edward F. Stanton

Edward Stanton was born in Colorado, raised in California and has lived in Mexico, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile and Spain. He's the author of fourteen books, some of which have been translated and published in Spanish, Arabic and Chinese. Road of Stars to Santiago, the story of his 500-mile walk on the ancient pilgrimage route to Compostela, was called one of the best books on the subject by The New York Times. On the dust cover of this work, Pulitzer Prize-winning author James Michener says, “Edward Stanton recounts his adventures with stylish conviction.” Stanton has also published short fiction, poems and translations in dozens of magazines and journals in the U.S. and abroad, and he has lectured in many countries around the world. He has received grants from the Fulbright Commission, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the U.S. Department of Education and the Spanish Ministry of Culture. Stanton has been named Distinguished Alumni Lecturer at UCLA. His former students have published a Festschrift titled "This Spanish Thing": Essays in Honor of Edward F. Stanton (Juan de la Cuesta, 2016).
