Filipino-American author Lysley Tenorio will be at Excelsior Branch to talk about and read from his short story collection Monstress, the On the Same Page city-wide bookclub selection for July/August.
Monstress introduces a bold new writer who explores the clash and meld of disparate cultures. Lysley Tenorio reveals the lives of people on the outside looking in with rare skill, humor, and deep understanding, in stories exploring the fantastical and the realistic, the familiar and the strange.
A book sale and signing follows the event. Please join us for this literary treat!
