BENJAMIN BAC SIERRA December 1, 2011 Bac Sierra’s Barrio Bushido (2011), set in a Southern California barrio, was called a “brutally honest comingof-age saga.” Maxine Hong Kingston said “the reader feels the joy of murderous combat, and the heartbreak of compassion.” A Gulf War veteran, Bac Sierra earned a J.D. at UC Hastings College of the Law. He teaches at City College of San Francisco. THE STORY HOUR READINGS bring writers and readers together inside the library to enjoy the music and meaning of literary prose. Hosted by English department faculty (and novelists) Vikram Chandra and Melanie Abrams, this prose series complements the Library’s long-running Lunch Poems readings. We are delighted to host some of the most widely enjoyed authors of our times, and hope that you can join us. ENJOY THE READINGS ONLINE through YouTube! Readings are in the Morrison Library from 6 to 7 pm.
