Book discussions on ‘Bless Me, Ultima’ begin today

Copies of the contemporary novel, “Bless Me, Ultima” by Rudolfo Anaya will be available free for the first 20 participants who attend a series of entertaining discussions on the book.

The discussions will take place from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Oct. 8, 15 and 22 in the Texas Tech University Library’s Croslin Room.  Refreshments will be served.

This coming-of-age classic, the best-selling Chicano novel of all time, follows a young boy as he questions his faith and beliefs. Anaya, winner of the 2015 National Humanities Medal, is acclaimed for his rich and compassionate writing about the Mexican-American experience.

This novel is the 2018 selection for OneBook LBK, a community-wide reading program sponsored by TTU Libraries, the Humanities Center at Texas Tech, TTU Press, Lubbock Roots Historical Arts Council and Latino Lubbock Magazine. The program is funded in part by The CH Foundation.

All are invited to attend. Guest parking will be available in the R11 (band) lot located north of 18th Street between Akron and Boston Avenues. Contact Kimberly Vardeman at kimberly.vardeman@ttu.edu or 806.834.4156 for more information.
