Argentine writer to speak at UWM

          Noted Jewish Argentine writer Ana María Shua will offer a bilingual reading of her short fiction, followed by a discussion of her work in the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s Golda Meir Library (2311 E. Hartford Ave.) on Thursday, Oct. 23, 6:30 p.m.

          The event is co-sponsored by the UWM Department of Spanish and Portuguese and the UWM Libraries.

          Shua has published more than 80 books in numerous genres, but she is particularly well-known in the Spanish-speaking world on both sides of the Atlantic as “the Queen of the Microstory.”

          Her presentation forms part of a series on Jewish Latin America associated with the Jewish Latin America Collection at the UWM Libraries.

          Other supporters of this event are the Jewish Latin America Collection Associates, UWM Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, UWM Center for International Education, UWM College of Letters and Science, UWM Master of Arts in Language, Literature, and Translation, the Sam and Helen Stahl Center for Jewish Studies and Sigma Delta Pi National Collegiate Hispanic Honor Society.
