Solito was just named a Jenna’s Book Club Pick and tells the heartbreaking story of how Zamora migrated alone from El Salvador to the US at the age of nine. According to Sandra Cisneros, Solito is “the mythic journey of our era…. I have waited decades for a memoir like Solito.” The Los Angeles Times adds, “Zamora’s storytelling is crafted with stunning intimacy, and you’ll feel so close to the boy he was then that you’ll think about him long after the book is done. It’s impossible not to feel both immersed in and changed by this extraordinary book.” For $5 tickets or more information, visit inprint.org. | BOOKISH TEXAS October 1-9, 2022 The only weekly, statewide calendar of Texas book events.
