Juan Ochoa Readings at Starr Campus

August 20, 2024Previous Announcements, Previous Events, Starr County Campushbobrowi

Author Juan Ochoa

Join us in Starr Campus Library’s multipurpose room for this reading by STC faculty and author Juan Ochoa from his newest book. Pa’l Otro Lado, a prequel to Mariguano, spans five generations of violence and tragedy in the Cortina family while narrating their forced migration to the United States from Northern Mexico. It is the tale of every working-class family who has come to realize that “you just can’t win.” Hunger and poverty drive the characters in this novel to abandon all hopes of attaining the American Dream and to resign themselves simply to survive. P’al Otro Lado is full of the baddest hombres and the nastiest women we all know, love, and call family.

Event Title: “Juan Ochoa Author Reading”
Speaker: Professor Juan Ochoa
Dates: September 4th and 5th, 2024
Time: 10AM CST
Where: Starr Library Multipurpose Room
