SUMMARY:Cristina Henríquez: Voice\, Culture\, and Human Connection
DESCRIPTION:NOTE: This is a live\, online event. A recording will be made available for those who register but cannot attend the event live. \nJoin critically acclaimed\, bestselling author\, Cristina Henríquez\, for a compelling conversation about her work. Henríquez’s newest book\, The Great Divide\, is a moving exploration of the people who lived\, loved\, and labored during the construction of the Panama Canal. Named a New York Times’ Editors’ Choice selection and TIME Magazine “100 Must-Read Books of 2024\,” The Great Divide explores history and adversity in a place very special to her – her father’s homeland of Panama. \nHenríquez has also authored The Book of Unknown Americans\, The World in Half\, and Come Together\, Fall Apart\, all to significant acclaim. Her fiction has appeared in The New Yorker\, The Atlantic\, The New York Times\, and The Best American Short Stories 2018\, and she is a recipient of the 21st Century Award given by The Chicago Public Library Foundation. She is a graduate of Northwestern University and the Iowa Writer’s Workshop\, and lives in the Chicago suburbs with her family. \nCarmen Álvarez will join Henríquez as moderator. Álvarez is an advocate for libraries and Latinx representation in the publishing industry. Her work has appeared in Glamour\, Elle\, and Vogue and she has a social media presence surpassing 180k followers across platforms. \nThis event is intended for adults. \nThis event is made possible by Illinois Libraries Present (ILP)\, a statewide collaboration among public libraries offering premier events. ILP is funded in part by a grant awarded by the Illinois State Library\, a department of the Office of Secretary of State\, using funds provided by the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services\, under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA).  \nILP is committed to inclusion and accessibility. American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation and Closed Captioning are provided for all events by default—no special request needed. \n#### \nRegistration for this event closes at 5:00 p.m. on event day.
