Description
USF’s Center for the Pacific Rim presents “Monstress”What: USF’s Center for the Pacific Rim presents “Monstress” an interview and book signing with author Lysley Tenorio
When: Wednesday, April 18, 2012. 5:45pm
Where: Fromm Hall on USF’s main campus. Located at 330 Parker San Francisco CA 94117
Why: The New York Times reports that Tenorio's stories "announce the debut of an electric literary talent. Brilliantly quirky, often moving, always gorgeously told, these are tales of big-hearted misfits...Bravo for this fabulous American fiction." Other critics call them luminous, bold.
Born during an earthquake in the Philippines; his six siblings wanted him named Lindol--Tagalog for quake. Instead his parents chose Lysley and moved the family to San Francisco, an urban paradise for immigrants. Here he found his literary roots, honing his writing skill through UC Berkeley and later awards such as the Stegner Fellowship at Stanford and a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts
