Cristina Garcia - The Lady Matador’s Hotel
09/27/2010 7:00 pm
National Book Award finalist Cristina García delivers a gorgeous novel about the intertwining lives of the denizens of a luxurious hotel. There is a matadora, an ex-guerrilla, a Korean manufacturer and his underage mistress, an international adoption lawyer, a colonel, and a Cuban poet and wife. With each day, their lives become further entangled, resulting in the unexpected—the clash of histories and the pull of revenge and desire. Cristina García’s magnificent orchestration of politics, the intimacies of daily life, and the frailty of human nature unfolds in a moving, ambitious, often comic, and unforgettable tale. Also in attendance tonight will be Dean Rader, with his new book of poetry entitled Works & Days.
