The National Hispanic Cultural Center’s (NHCC) Escribir | Escuchar Latine Author Series continues in November with a free two-day event featuring author Estella González.

What: A reading and workshop event celebrating Estella González’s newest novel Huizache Women . González’s sweeping novel tells the story of three generations of women grappling with the complexities of love, as the story traverses Mexico, Texas and California through evocative storytelling.

First, head to the Center on Nov. 7 for a reading and book-signing event. Don’t miss this opportunity to meet the author, engage in enriching discussion, and hear excerpts from her compelling new work. Then, on Nov. 9 González will lead a writing workshop, offering a unique opportunity to explore your own narrative voice and craft.

Both events are free, generously supported by AARP Albuquerque. Visit nhccnm.org/events to learn more and register.

Who: In addition to Huizache Women , Estella González wrote the acclaimed short story collection Chola Salvation (2021 Arte Público Press).
