LONE STAR LIT EVENT SPOTLIGHT

Inprint Javier Zamora Reading

Join Inprint in person or online for a reading on October 3 featuring Javier Zamora, the first-ever Salvadoran to make the New York Times bestseller list, with his new memoir Solito.

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.
