Live dramatisation of the short story 'Las Cenizas' with dialogue, Q&A, and booksigning.
LaTesha Harris brings Las Cenizas to BookWoman on Friday, July 31, for an evening that starts with a live dramatization of the story. The piece is part of Masculine: Stories From Bad Clown Books, a collection described as a hard-hitting look at the consequences of neglect and the effects of proximity to power. Harris contributed Las Cenizas to that volume, and the night is built around it.
After the dramatization, the focus shifts to a moderated dialogue on the role of masculinity in today's USA, a conversation that takes the themes of the story and opens them up for a wider room. From there, the evening moves into a Q&A about independent printing presses, giving a look at the smaller presses that make books like Masculine possible. The night wraps with an exclusive book signing, so you can get your copy of the collection signed by Harris.
