2021 HOT OFF THE PRESS Lit­er­ary Read­ing, a pro­gram of the Fil­ipino Amer­i­can Inter­na­tion­al Book Fes­ti­val, and spon­sored by the San Fran­cis­co Pub­lic Library & PAWA, will go vir­tu­al this year, on Sat­ur­day, Octo­ber 9, 2021 Pacif­ic Time, from 5–6:30 p.m. The Zoom link will be announced, or check out the events sec­tion of sfpl.org lat­er on.

Get to know JHOANNA LYNN CRUZ, author of Abi Nako, Or So I Thought (UP 2020). Abi Nako is part-essay, con­fes­sion, part auto-detec­tive work, a leap of love and faith. It sings off the page, inti­mate, quest­ing, embed­ded in the local and the body. It gives us a way to live, make art, and dance.

Welcome!

I am a daugh­ter of the Philip­pines and an adopt­ed daugh­ter of Amer­i­ca. I have also trav­eled to many places so I am also a daugh­ter of the Earth. My expe­ri­ences have found their way into my sto­ries, which try to depict char­ac­ters caught in impor­tant moments in their lives, sit­u­a­tions that force them to act, make deci­sions, change. I try to see the world from my own point of view, not the dom­i­nant West­ern one, thus my inter­est in his­to­ry, cul­ture, and set­ting. But my char­ac­ters car­ry my sto­ries; they are the most impor­tant in my sto­ry-telling. I have to dive deep into them to under­stand their human­i­ty – their good­ness as well as their bad­ness, their beau­ty as well as their ugli­ness. Just like us. Just like each of us. I need to know where they came from, where they are now, so I under­stand where they are going. Just like us.
