Sunday 7/13/2014 @ 3:00PM - 6:00PM Joining me this afternoon, in the 5 o'clock hour, author Elizabeth Nunez. We will be discussing her most recent book, Not For Everyday Use.
“Elizabeth
Nunez has written a book about love: love of family, love of place,
love of literature, and even the love of human flaws. Not for Everyday Usemanages
to be a memoir rich with tenderness that doesn’t shy away from pain and
loss. Reading this book was like sitting with a dear friend for a long
conversation and only later realizing I’d been in the presence of a true
artist. It’s not easy to sound casual but attain the profound yet
somehow Nunez pulls it off, page after page.”

“Elizabeth Nunez’s Not for Everyday Use is
that powerful and essential work which redefines our understanding of
the experience of emigration and its impact on families. It is, quite
simply, one of the most important books I’ve read about the intellectual
and emotional work we must do to understand our forebears’ lives in the
context of history and colonialism.”

“Elizabeth Nunez is one of the finest and most necessary voices in contemporary American and Caribbean fiction.”
