Some discussion themes:
1. Your favorite García sister: Carla, Yolanda, Sandra or Sofía?
2. Your favorite episode?
3. Machismo vs. feminism
Muchas gracias to all those who made it to our first book discussion yesterday, in spite of the gloomy weather. It was a great success!
It was wonderful to hear of everyone's reactions, personal associations, and opinions about the many themes that arose from the novel.
BLOG SPOT: Some you might have received an email from Irene, in continuation of our discussion about Latino youth. (For the new members: Irene referred to an article in the Newspaper [Sunday] in the "Today" section titled " Suicide among young Latino Girls.") Please use the blog spot to continue the discussion. Simply click on the title of our discussion and leave a comment. You do NOT need any ID or password. If you couldn't make it to the book meeting, please leave your comments. We would love to hear from the rest too.
NEXT BOOK:For the next month we have chosen to read Piri Thomas’ Down These Mean Streets, and for March Rudolfo Anaya’s Bless me, Ultima. We have also decided that we will meet at the same place, Francesco’s Café at 3 every LAST SATURDAY of the month.
I will contact Kathleen (Pomegrante Books) and request her to bring in copies of Piri Thomas’ book. Once they are available I will send out an email.
E-NEWSLETTER: You will also be receiving the next e-newsletter soon. If there are any announcements regarding Latino activities in town that you would like mentioned in the e-newsletter, please forward them to me.
For any questions, please feel free to write back to me.
