Los Angeles! I’ve wanted to have an excuse to talk more with Anthony Ocampo ever since he came out with The Latinos of Asia. Well, here’s my excuse. Join us for a double-header conversation about Nervous and Anthony’s latest book Brown and Gay in LA, and about writing research-driven personal stories and profiles as second generation Filipinx-Americans. Hosted by North Figueroa Bookshop.
Accessibility information for North Figueroa Bookshop: An accessible entrance is around the corner through the parking lot. The bookstore does not have parking for customers, but there is street parking available around Highland Park Pool and the Arroyo Seco Library. Chairs will be available at the event.
Image description: A graphic that reads, “Jen Soriano with Anthony Ocampo” in black text on a green background. Below that is a copy of the NERVOUS book cover and photos of Soriano and Ocampo in circles. Soriano is smiling softly as she looks directly at the camera. Her black hair is swept back and she is wearing red lipstick and a white blouse. Ocampo is smiling as he looks at the camera, his arms crossed in front of his body. He is bald and wearing a light blue jean jacket over a white long-sleeved button-down. Text at the bottom reads, “Monday Oct 16 7 pm, 6040 N Figeuroa.” The logo of North Figeuroa Bookshop is in the bottom left corner.
