An Evening with Hector Tobar

We are delighted to welcome native Angeleno and award-winning journalist and novelist Hector Tobar to LMU to discuss his latest work, The Barbarian Nurseries.

For two decades, Tobar has worked for the Los Angeles Times: as a city reporter, national and foreign correspondent (on assignments from Alaska to Patagonia, and from East Los Angeles to Iraq), and was part of the reporting team that won a Pulitzer Prize for coverage of the 1992 L.A. riots. For several years he wrote a column for the Los Angeles Times, and has also worked as Features Editor at the LA Weekly and as editor of the bilingual San Francisco magazine El Tecolote.

This special event is co-sponsored by the William H. Hannon Library, LMU Ethnic and Intercultural Services, and the Department of Chicana/o Studies. It is free and open to the public, and copies of Tobar's books will be available for sale and signing. Refreshments will be served.
