Gonzalez joins a distinguished list of authors—including Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Elizabeth Acevedo, Sandra Cisneros, and Kali Fajardo-Anstine—hosted by the Stone Center for Latin American Studies and Newcomb Institute. The writers featured in this series explore Latine/Latinx identity, race, and Latin America in works bridging contemporary fiction and cultural criticism.

As a staff writer for The Atlantic, she was recognized as a 2023 finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Commentary. Her latest novel, Anita de Monte Laughs Last, was selected as a Reese's Book Club Pick and longlisted for the Aspen Words Literary Prize.
