Roll Out the Collection: Chola Debut

By Michael Sedano
FROM: La Bloga

I took a photograph of author Estella Gonzalez during a 2008 book festival at Cal State LA. It was her debut as an anthologized writer. 

Soon thereafter, I got to hear Estella read again from Latinos in Lotusland, at the Autry Museum (link).

The next year, when 2010’s Yesterday•Today•Tomorrow Festival de Flor y Canto came to the University of Southern California, in a reunion of the historic 1973 floricanto, Estella clearly had to take the lectern on the festival’s Tomorrow line-up.

Tomorrow arrives in 2021, for Estella Gonzalez at any rate, with publication by Arte Publico of Chola Salvation, her debut collection of short fiction. Read Rest of Review Here
