You are cordially invited, if in São Paulo, Brazil, to attend a book reading of To Belém & Back this Sunday, January 20th.

This will be the first book reading in Brazil after the book’s launch and since it won a coveted * Star review from the industry leader Publishers Weekly:

“An insightful and poignant account. . . . As in the very best travelogues, the author seamlessly combines the personal, the political, and the cultural.”

Prior to the book excerpt reading will be presented a video about the journey (both in English), followed by a discussion (in Portuguese) and book signing.
