“An energetic, paradigm shifting book,” says Carmen Maria Machado. “A stunning, provocative, and essential book that lights up the mind. Villarreal’s ferocious imagination is matched only by a roving intellect and so much heart that these essays will stay with you for a long time after reading” says Jeff VanderMeer. Villareal is also the author of the poetry collection Beast Meridian, winner of a 2019 Whiting Award. Born in the Rio Grande Valley, she is the child of Mexican immigrants. She lives with her child in Los Angeles. This in-person event will take place in BB#4. Reading begins at 6pm. Reception to follow.
