It’s been a month since the publication of CANTORAS — and what a ride!
Signing copies of CANTORAS at A Great Good Place For Books, Oakland, CA.
I’ve met with readers in San Francisco, Corte Madera, Oakland, Los Angeles, and Seattle.
I’ve been honored by reviews or mentions in venues including The New York Times, The San Francisco Chronicle, BookPage, O – the Oprah Magazine, Entertainment Weekly, Vanity Fair, The Advocate, The Rumpus, and Refinery29.
I’ve been interviewed on NPR, the Reading Women Podcast, and for many other outlets.
Also: the novel has been announced as a finalist for the Kirkus Prize.
Above all, I’ve been able to have incredible conversations with readers about this book, about queer women’s untold stories in Uruguay, the long journey of gathering real lived experiences to weave into this book, what it means to create refuge and live authentically in hostile times, the power of fiction, the shaping of culture, and so much more.
Took some time off my own tour to meet up with Jacqueline Woodson on hers, to discuss her sublime novel RED AT THE BONE onstage in Santa Cruz, CA.
I’m incredibly inspired and excited to continue, with events coming up in San Francisco, Austin, and Miami. I’ll also be on Twitter and Facebook. Join me if you can, if you wish.
Keep reading, keep loving, adelante siempre con ánimo y amor.
