Author Talk, 5/29: Author and Montalvo writer-in-residence Susana Chavez-Silverman reads from her latest book at the Pruneyard Barnes & Noble (Campbell).
A woman living and communicating in multiple lands, Susana Chávez-Silverman conveys her cultural and linguistic displacement in a humorous, bittersweet, and even tangible way in the truly bilingual literary work, Killer Cronicas: Bilingual Memories.
These meditative and lyrical pieces combine poignant personal confession, detailed daily observation, and a memorializing drive that shifts across time and among geo-cultural spaces. The author’s inventive and flamboyant use of Spanglish, a hybrid English-Spanish idiom, and her adaptation of the confessional "crónica" make this memoir compelling and powerful.
