Comadres, compadres, ... all are invited to the Pasadena Las Comadres & Friends National Latino Book Club meeting Tuesday, October 21(tomorrow!), at Borders, 475 South Lake Ave, 626.304.9773. This small, fun, informal group will gather upstairs to discuss this month's book pick: The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz, winner of the fiction Pulitzer Prize for 2008.
BRIEF BOOK DESCRIPTION: Encapsulating Dominican-American history, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao opens our eyes to an astonishing vision of the contemporary American experience and explores the endless human capacity to persevere-and risk it all-in the name of love.
Your Humble Narrators
Monica and Todd live a block apart in the Playhouse District. Coincidentally, they met there by chance, 16 years ago. Before 220 South Lake Ave. became a Panda Express. They have wildly different memories of that encounter.
Monica is a former reporter now working in the City Hall at the other end of the Gold Line.
Todd is a reporter who has previously covered the city and its political landscape for the Pasadena Star-News. He is still one year younger.

Looking to make Pasadena and the San Gabriel Valley the center of your universe? Or unload your property to stave off crushing economic collapse?! There is no finer choice than Catherine Morgan at Coldwell Banker on South Lake Ave. She's a real human being. She's also Todd's mom.
