Ah, at last! I've been hoping this opportunity would arise--to hear Alice Walker--as well as discovering a new name for my reading list.
Thanks for this, Nansee and Casa Luz.

If you have never heard Alice Walker read then you are in for a rare treat -- the chance to hear her right here at Casa Luz in La Manzanilla! I am joining her (a treat for me as well) to read from my new book of essays This is Mexico and talk about Mexico, and the cultural differences and delights we experience here.

I hope you will join us.

Abrazon,

Carol Merchasin
