Join us at La Quinta for our first Literary Luncheon of 2025 with renowned author, Deborah Taffa. Taffa, a featured author at this year’s Santa Fe International Literary Festival (May 16-18, 2025) will speak about her memoir, Whiskey Tender, which was a finalist for the 2024 National Book Award. Whiskey Tender traces how a mixed tribe native girl - born on the California Yuma reservation and raised in Navajo territory in New Mexico - comes to her own interpretation of identity, reflecting on the past and present, both personal and historical. The book is a sharp and thought-provoking work laced with humor and heart.Registration opens at 10:30 AM. The talk will begin at 11:30 AM, followed by a light 3-course lunch. A paperback copy of Whiskey Tender is included in the ticket price. Hardcover copies and additional related titles will also be available for purchase from our friends at Bookworks before and after the event.
$85 per person which includes a three-course lunch (alcohol excluded) and a paperback copy of Whiskey Tender.
Presented in collaboration with the Santa Fe International Literary Festival.
