CLA presents
‘Jaime Cortez & Dino Enrique Piacentini’
The Center for Literary Arts is pleased to present authors Jaime Cortez and Dino Enrique Piacentini in a reading and conversation from their literary debuts. Written with balance and poise, Cortez braids together elegant and inviting stories about life on a California farm worker camp, in essence redefining what all-American means in his book Gordo. In Piacentini’s book about family, “invasion,” and heroism, Invasion of the Daffodils, rifles through the tumult of love and the rubble of loss to examine the problems, possibilities, and inevitability of unexpected change.
