Monday, February 4 - Latinos in Lotusland

Editor and contributors to the forthcoming collection, Latinos in Lotusland: An Anthology of Contemporary Southern California Literature (Bilingual Press). I’m joined in Studio C by writer and editor Daniel Olivas (Devil Talk) as well as contributors Reyna Grande (Across a Hundred Mountains) and Michael Jaime-Becerra (Every Night is Ladies Night).

This landmark collection spans sixty years of writing by Latinos --- on or in Los Angeles and Southern California --- and features classic work from Mario Suarez and John Rechy, established writers Helena Viramontes and Luis Rodriguez, as well as work by newer writers.

For more information see the terrific weblog La Bloga, a resource for Chicana-Chicano literature and writers, children’s lit, news, views and reviews, http://labloga.blogspot.com/. Or visit Dan Olivas’s blog, http://www.danielolivas.com/.
