Join us at Pilsen Community Books for a conversation with two of Mexico’s most talked-about young authors, Javier Peñalosa M. and Clyo Mendoza. The two authors will discuss their respective titles, What Comes Back translated by Robin Myers (Copper Canyon Press, 2024) and Fury translated by Christina MacSweeney (Seven Stories Press, 2024). Each author will read from their book followed by a discussion on writing about the desert, the power of myths, and poetic journeys. This conversation will be moderated by Lit & Luz Literary Arts Director and Lit & Luz Book Club Founder Miguel Jiménez. Stay after for a book signing with the presenters.
