DESCRIPTION:Author Event - Sylvia Sellers-Garcia discusses her award-winning novel When 
 the Ground Turns in Its Sleep.\n\n   Nitido Aman and his parents have never 
 talked about exactly where he came from or what happened in his family's 
 village during Guatemala's wrenching civil war.  With the death of his 
 father, and the continuing silence of his mother, Nitido travels back to 
 Guatemala to see what he could discover. Upon his arrival, he is mistaken 
 for the new village priest.  Rather than correct the mistake, Nitido 
 undertakes the role for reasons he can't even explain to himself, and 
 begins to know the people and hear their stories. What he finds in Río 
 Roto,  is a place shrouded in silence and secrets, a place that can neither 
 escape nor give voice to the unnamed horrors it has survived. Nítido is at 
 once determined and frightened to unearth these horrors-even as they force 
 him to reevaluate his own haunted past.\n   Tensely paced and written in 
 elegant prose, Sylvia Sellers-Garcia's stunning debut novel is moving, 
 mysterious, and powerful.  \n\n***\n\nSylvia Sellers-Garcia is currently in 
 the doctoral program at UC Berkeley in Latin American Studies. When the 
 Ground Turns In Its Sleep has just been released in a paperback 
 edition.\n\n\n\n\n
