LECHONCITOS, AGUINALDOS Y CHOCOLATE
Meeting revelers at the door in your pajamas, fattening up the Christmas piglet…we’ll hear these and other stories of a girlhood in rural Puerto Rico from Esmeralda Santiago, author of three memoirs and two collections of Latino writing. Santiago also brings us memories of her first winter in Brooklyn, telling stories around an open stove.
