East Bay Booksellers & Niebla SF present Laia Jufresa's Wishbone

​Laia Jufresa is a Mexican writer based in Edinburgh. She is the author of the widely acclaimed novel Umami and the memoir Veinte, veintiuno. Her work has been translated into a dozen languages and appeared in McSweeney’s, Vogue, and El País, among others. Wishbone is her second novel.

​Moving backward in time across two decades and seven cities, Wishbone is dreamy and precise, insightful and thrilling: a work of lived-in magic with a colorful cast of irresistible characters, a dazzlingly inventive structure, and a stunning final revelation.

​Jufresa will be in conversation with writer Ingrid Rojas Contreras, a Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award finalist, who teaches in the St. Mary's MFA program.
