Arizona authors Alberto Álvaro Ríos and Lydia R. Otero will discuss their newest books, both of which explore the power of place and community along the border. How much is lost when families are dislocated altogether? Living where we do, these are things for all of us to think about. Ríos is the author of A Good Map of All Things, a picaresque novel that describes momentous adventure and quiet connection bring twenty people in a small town in northern Mexico. Otero is the author of La Calle, which examines conflicting claims to urban space, place, and history as advanced by two opposing historic preservationist groups in Tucson. This panel will be moderated by Mari Herreras, who is our Publicity Manager. Learn more about this panel.
