Details Karla Cornejo Villavicencio, author of The Undocumented Americans, a National Book Award Finalist, will read from and discuss her latest book, Catalina. 

Catalina is a year in the life of the unforgettable Catalina Ituralde, a wickedly wry and heartbreakingly vulnerable student at an elite college, forced to navigate an opaque past, an uncertain future, tragedies on two continents, and the tantalizing possibilities of love and freedom

Diabolically charming and magnetic. I enjoyed the hell out of this little exploding geyser of a book.” — Ira Glass

Catalina seems destined to be a contemporary American classic.”— Pulitzer Prize finalist author Francisco Goldman

An unforgettable character … [Catalina’s] an American original, a fragile and funny powerhouse.” — author Quiara Alegría Hude
