Author Chris Ahrens will read from and discuss his new novel Twilight in the City of Angels.
Jose De la Luz Santiago was larger than life for everyone he encountered, including the train that tried to kill him. Though he was left with a deep dent in his forehead, his joyous disposition and a complex faith built around Jose Cuervo Tequila, Our Lady of Guadalupe, and the Union Pacific Railroad -- his personal trinity -- Jose was undaunted by life.
Los Angeles was built by him and around him, and Jose fought to keep the spirit of the city alive when “progress” dismantled the red car system and greed wiped out Chavez Ravine.
