Calendar
Book Festival

Description

"From Wallace Stegner to Brandon Sanderson, Utah is home to many celebrated authors. Far too often, however, our writers from historically marginalized groups and their important contributions are under-taught and under-discussed. Since 2021, Utah Humanities has collaborated with Utah State Library, Plumas Colectiva, and many others to curate and develop the Many Stories, One Utah: Latinx & Hispanic Collection. In the collection, you will find five books by Latinx or Hispanic authors with deep ties to Utah available for free from the Utah State Library, complete with thoughtful discussion guides created by members of Utah's Latinx and undocumented community. Learn more by visiting https://www.plumascolectiva.com/book-buzz-project

Join us for a celebration of the Many, Stories, One Utah: Latinx & Hispanic Book collection featuring Yamile Saied Méndez, Kase Johnstun, Willy Palomo, and Pilar Pobil. The authors will read short selections from their work and answer questions from the audience. "
