Las Cruces author Denise Chávez will read from recent novel 'Street of Too Many Stories'
AT BOOKS ON THE BOSQUE
Las Cruces author Denise Chávez will read from and sign copies of her recent novel “Street of Too Many Stories” at 2 p.m. Sunday, March 23, at Books on the Bosque.
Yolanda Chávez Leyva, director of the Institute of Oral History and associate professor at the University of Texas at El Paso, wrote in a blurb that the author “has created a magical place populated by four families. From the street itself, filled with spirits who dance and visit homes, to the mothers, fathers and children who stay there their entire lives, or leave and return, to those who hold onto hope or whose dreams are crushed, Encantada Street is a microcosm of the pain, love, dysfunction and hope that is humanity.”
Books on the Bosque is located at 6261 Riverside Plaza Lane NW.
IN SANTA FE AND ALBUQUERQUE
Mark Sundeen will discuss his new book “Delusions and Grandeur: Dreamers of the New West” at 6 p.m. Wednesday, March 19, at Collected Works, and at 6 p.m. Thursday, March 20, at Bookworks.
Author Vauhini Vara commented in a blurb that “‘Delusions and Grandeur’ is about what it means to be a man in the West — but if that conjures images of steely-eyed cowboys and oilmen, put those out of your mind. What struck me most is just how gorgeously tenderhearted, vulnerable and emotionally engaged these essays and their characters are. If a smallish group of men have been the main perpetrators of the destruction of our planet, a larger group, including many of those in this fine book, have been their victim — and survivors.”
Collected Works is located at 202 Galisteo St., Santa Fe, and Bookworks is located at 4022 Rio Grande Blvd. NW.
