SUMMARY:Author Event: Erika L. Sanchez
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we chat with award-winning writer Erika Sánchez about her utterly original\, moving\, and disarmingly funny memoir-in-essays Crying in the Bathroom.  \nGrowing up as the daughter of Mexican immigrants in Chicago in the nineties\, Erika Sánchez was a self-described pariah\, misfit\, and disappointment—a foul-mouthed\, melancholic rabble-rouser who painted her nails black but also loved comedy\, often laughing so hard with her friends that she had to leave her school classroom. Twenty-five years later\, she’s now an award-winning novelist\, poet\, and essayist\, but she’s still got an irrepressible laugh\, an acerbic wit\, and singular powers of perception about the world around her. \nIn these essays\, Sánchez writes about everything from sex to white feminism to debilitating depression\, revealing an interior life rich with ideas\, self-awareness\, and perception. Raunchy\, insightful\, unapologetic\, and brutally honest\, Crying in the Bathroom is Sánchez’s best—a book that will make you feel that post-confessional high that comes from talking for hours with your best friend. \nAbout the Author:  \nErika L. Sánchez is the daughter of Mexican immigrants. Her debut poetry collection\, Lessons on Expulsion\, was published by Graywolf in July 2017 and was a finalist for the PEN America Open Book Award. Her debut young adult novel\, I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter\, published in October 2017 by Knopf Books for Young Readers\, was a New York Times bestseller and a National Book Awards finalist. It is now being made into a film directed by America Ferrera. Most recently\, Sánchez published a critically acclaimed memoir-in-essays titled Crying in the Bathroom with Viking Books. Sánchez was a Fulbright Scholar\, a 2015 Ruth Lilly and Dorothy Sargent fellow from the Poetry Foundation\, a 2017-2019 Princeton Arts Fellow\, a 2018 recipient of the 21st Century Award from the Chicago Public Library Foundation\, and a 2019 recipient of the National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship. She is the Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz chair at DePaul University in Chicago. \nRegister now. \nThese events are made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant provided by the Traverse des Sioux Library Cooperative\, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
