Jean Guerrero: Crux
The San Carlos Branch Library welcomes Jean Guerrero to discuss her book, Crux: A Cross-Border Memoir, winner of the PEN/FUSION Emerging Writers prize. In this lyrical, haunting memoir, Guerrero tries to locate the border between truth and fantasy as she searches for explanations for her father’s behavior. She is an Emmy-winning investigative immigration reporter for KPBS in San Diego; she contributes to NPR, PBS, PRI’s The World and other public media. She was named “Latina Journalist on the Rise” from one of the 15 most influential Latina journalists in Southern California by CCNMA. The San Diego City Beat picked her as one of San Diego’s “Best People.” The Library Shop will be onsite to sell copies of Crux to support the San Diego Public Library Foundation.
