Tertullian’s Corner
Tertullian’s Corner, comes, as its creator Rosa Martha Villarreal says, from the time when liberal, i.e., free thinking, people were persecuted by the Catholic Church. So young men (and women) would gather in some corner of a monastery under the pretense of discussing the Church Father, Tertullian. Thus, the tertulia was born.
Rosa Martha Villarreal, recently retired as an Adjunct Professor at Cosumnes River College in Sacramento, California, is author of several important novels including Doctor Magdalena, The Stillness of Love and Exile, and Chronicles of Air and Dreams.
Chicano Confidential
Chicano Confidential is written under the general rubric of historias verdaderas mentiras auténticas–true stories and authentic lies. Its creator Sonny Boy Arias has found this the most effective manner to convey his stories about Chicano life.
