Comadrazo with Las Comadres para las Americas
Friday, April 11th @ 6 to 8 p.m.

Tianguis will be hosting the next Chicago area comadrazo, we hope you can join us this Friday, April 11th from 6 to 8 p.m.
The comadrazos take place in Chicago and across the country and are events we truly look forward to. There are no dues, no officers, just comadres getting together to meet, have great conversations and find ways to support each other in many ways. Las Comadres started in Austin, TX in 2000. Since April, 2003, 50 cities have been launched and about 5,000 comadres added to the lists. For details about this movement: www.lascomadres.org.

From
Here You Can Almost See the End of the Desert
by Aaron Michael Morales
with an introduction by Luis Alberto Urrea
Now available @ Tianguis
and for online purchase.
"Morales
seduces then abducts and we are carried away by the torrents
of his endless sentences until we come up for air, gasping
and astonished. This is not to say that these stories […]
are prettified tales. Indeed, violence is the skin of these
stories. Yet, we understand and we ache and that’s
the best argument for reading fiction. So hear me and pay
attention: Aaron Michael Morales is poised to startle." — Helena
María
Viramontes
"[Aaron
Michael Morales] is a genius at putting the reader in a narrative
bind before anyone knows what happened. This is subversive
and sly work, as knowing in its effect as it is exciting to
read. For all its thrilling nature, and for all his hard-edge
style, this is a deeply moral effort. Morales wrestles with
nothing less than the parameters of the human soul. Community,
responsibility, even love are here, while eros, violence, fear,
dread and a dark exultation fly through the nightscapes of
these pieces."
— Luis Alberto Urrea

More copies have arrived of the previously sold-out title, "Malinche's Daughter" by Michelle Otero.
Praise for Malinche's Daughter:
In Malinche’s Daughter, Michelle Otero twines the intellect of a Fulbright fellow, the heart of a powerful woman, and the lyricism of a poet. This astounding debut collection of essays limns the author’s journey to Oaxaca, Mexico to guide a writer’s workshop for women survivors of sexual assault. In the process, Otero confronts the pain of her own childhood as well as cultures—north and south—which have been deaf to women’s voices. Here, Otero’s voice sings with profundity, soul, and spirit. Malinche’s Daughter will be heard, lauded, and widely read.
—Sue William Silverman
author, Because I Remember Terror Father, I Remember You
Artfully written, the stories in Malinche’s Daughter take us to Mexico and back, but it is also a trip to the past and to spaces of conflict and tension, finally coming home to that space where we are “born and re-born”
