Tell Your True Tale: East Los Angles

Tell Your True Tale

East Los Angeles

Sam Quinones, Andrew L. Ramirez, Jacqueline Gonzalez Reyes, Celia Viramontes, Diego Renteria

Great nonfiction stories by authors in the Tell Your True Tale writing workshop at East Los Angeles library. Stories of a vet returning home from Vietnam; of a janitor in Houston trying to find her children in Mexico; of braceros finding their way north and back home again; of a man learning confidence as he woos a woman; of a bus rider in Los Angeles; of a mariachi singing for a family on Christmas Eve. The Tell Your True Tale workshop, devised by journalist/author Sam Quinones teaches the basics of writing and storytelling by getting new writers to connect with the tales in their own lives.

Cristian Vasquez Et Al

Journalist Sam Quinones' writing workshop, Tell Your True Tale, has produced its eighth volume of true stories. These are new writers stretching out and telling magnificent tales: ... of a young boy watching the LA riots ... a Chinese immigrant girl growing up at a South Central motel makes a friend ... of a woman watching her grandmother die and remembering her life as a curandera ... of the tormented friendship of two homeless men ... of a woman who returns to east Texas and finds the story of the ex-slave who set her family forward. TYTT is a community writing project unlike any other - funded by the great generosity and vision of the LA County Library.
