I was interviewed Robert Holguin of KFOX14 at Literarity Book Shop in El Paso. Thank you, Robert. What a wonderful experience at this independent bookstore, my inaugural reading for A Peculiar Kind of Immigrant's Son.
“Anybody traveling, crossing these borders, going beyond El Paso and
coming back, has to deal with these kinds of questions of where do I
belong, how do I belong, what part of El Paso values do I take with me
and how do I adapt those values when I’m in a place that’s very foreign
or very different from El Paso like Boston or Harvard or Yale," said
Troncoso. "And so I think that’s why the book is valid and why the book
should matter to people.”
“We need to be helping independent bookstores," Troncoso said. "Independent voices all over this country and independent publishers like Cinco Puntos Press and so Literarity is part of that.”
