<p>ABOUT THE TOMÁS RIVERA BOOK PRIZE</p>
<p>The Tomás Rivera Book Prize is a unique partnership between the Los Angeles Review of Books and UC Riverside. Open to any author writing in English about the Chicanx/Latinx experience, the Rivera Book Prize is committed to the discovery and fostering of extraordinary writing by a first-time or early career author whose work examines the long and varied contributions of Chicanx/Latinx in the US. The Rivera Book Prize aims to provide a platform that showcases the emerging literary talent of the Chicanx/Latinx community, to cultivate the next generation of Chicanx/Latinx writers, and to continue the rich literary memory of Tomás Rivera, Chicano author, poet, activist, and educator. Known for his seminal collection of stories, …and the Earth Did Not Devour Him, Rivera was the first Latino Chancellor of the UC system and a champion of higher education and social justice. The Rivera Book Prize honors his legacy and his belief in the power of education, activism, and stories to change lives.</p>

XLA Poets Book Launch & Reading - Los Angeles Review of Books

XLA Poets Book Launch &amp; Reading - Los Angeles Review of Books

<p>The City Lights Foundation and&nbsp;the Los Angeles Review of Books Reckless Reader Program&nbsp;present the book launch for Carribean Fragoza’s <em><strong>Eat the Mouth That Feeds You</strong></em>, published by City Lights Books. She&#8217;ll be in conversation with novelist&nbsp;Héctor Tobar, author of <em>The Barbarian Nurseries</em>, who asserts that this book &#8220;will establish Fragoza as an essential and important new voice in American fiction.&#8221;</p>
<p>Carribean Fragoza&#8217;s debut collection of stories reside in the domestic surreal, featuring an unusual gathering of Latinx and Chicanx voices from both sides of the U.S./Mexico border, and universes beyond. In her review for the <em>New York Times,</em> Kali Fajardo-Anstine says, &#8220;<em>Eat the Mouth That Feeds You </em>is an accomplished debut with language that has the potential to affect the reader on a visceral level, a rare and significant achievement from a forceful new voice in American literature.&#8221;</p>
<p>The event is free to attend, but registration&nbsp;<a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/carribean-fragoza-tickets-138546974731">(CLICK HERE)</a> is required.</p>
