This is a book review I had never seen before of the book I edited, NEPANTLA FAMILIAS. Thank you, Josh Cook, for a thoughtful read and review. Texas A&M University Press tells me it's a bestseller!

Thank you Hudson Valley Writers’ Center or inviting me for a lively reading with Heidi Seaborn. I loved talking about NOBODY’S PILGRIMS, my novel about three teenagers driving across the country in search of their American Dreams. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn meets No Country for Old Men.

I remember my mother today and I miss her. One of the last photos of Bertha Estela Troncoso in her kitchen in Ysleta, a Mexican immigrant who had a near-photographic memory, who cared for her family sometimes at the cost of her own health, and who was an inspiration as a moral force in our family. ♥️

Thank you Harvard/Radcliffe Raza for inviting me to give a talk and to answer questions from members! Raza was so important to my surviving Harvard as a poor Mexican American student from the border. Always give back to your community to help the next generation to empower themselves.

Please encourage friends to stop by for a talk on my literary work, being a poor kid from the Mexican American border at Harvard, with only Eagles and Led Zeppelin t-shirts, becoming a writer, and surviving to tell that and many other stories!

Fun on Broadway watching the British musical Operation Mincemeat, with Laura and Isaac, who is visiting from Chicago. What a funny, fantastic spectacle!

Rest in peace, Jimmy Carter. When I was seventeen in 1978, I wrote a paper analyzing Carter’s presidential campaign victory in 1976. I liked that he was a farmer from rural Georgia, which appealed to me in Ysleta. I admired the work he did even more after leaving the White House. What a good man.
