THIS WEEK ON LATINOPIA: DENISE FROST ON A PUNISHING BREED, RICARD ROMO’S 2024 ART JOURNAL , JOSÉ ANGEL GUTIÉRREZ ON VOTER REGISTRATION AND GOTV (GET OUT THE VOTE) AND IRENE DÍAZ PERFORMS WITH FRIENDS.
This week we visit with Latina mystery writer Denise Frost whose debut novel is titled A Punishing Breed and features Mexican American detective DJ Arias. In this Latinopia interview she speaks about how her background as an administrator at a small liberal arts college in Los Angeles inspired her novel and its locale. A Punishing Breed is the first of several projected crime novels featuring detective DJ Arias. That’s what’s been missing: Chicano crime novels!
Also this week Ricardo Romo reviews a year of visits to art venues in his 2024 Art Journey. Check out all the Southwest art he has compiled.
And in the realm of politics, founder of the La Raza Unida political party back in the 60s and author Jose Angel Gutierrez offers his advice on how to get out the vote for the upcoming national election.
And last but not least, check out the unique musical stylings of Irene Diaz as she jams in an informal setting with her friends.
Enjoy your week on Latinopia!
