Chicana Writer Tuesday!

Rockin’ Chicana writer Pat Alderete, whom I met at the Macondo Workshop down in San Anto, will be here at UNL on Tuesday!  She reads at 7:30 p.m. in the Bailey Library, which is on the second floor of Andrews Hall on the UNL campus.

Born and raised in East Los Angeles, Pat Alderete writes from an insider’s perspective about the beauty and brutality of varrio life, rendering the complex inner worlds  and strict social hierarchies of a community too seldom observed in literature. 

Her reading’s free and open to the public (and there’ll be a reception afterward—i.e., free eats).  Come out!
