Wine reception to follow
Debut Salvadoran-American author Ruben Reyes Jr. presents There Is a Rio Grande in Heaven, an electrifying story collection about Central American identity that spans past, present, and future worlds to reveal what happens when your life is no longer your own. Blazing with heart, humor, and inimitable style, There Is a Rio Grande in Heaven subverts everything we think we know about migration and its consequences, capturing what it means to take up a new life with piercing and brilliant clarity. A gifted new storyteller and trailblazing stylist, Ruben not only transports to other worlds but alerts us to the heartache and injustice of our own. Ruben will discuss his work, along with a reading and book signing.
