 anyone…" - Bharati Mukherjee, author of Desirable Daughters  INTERSECTION 
 FOR THE ARTS is proud to present, as part of our Fall 2004 Literary Series, 
 a paired reading with two exciting young Bay Area fiction writers, Samina 
 Ali and Lysley Tenorio, on Monday October 11, 2004 at 8:00 PM.  Entitled 
 New Fiction, this reading presents two voices that are defining the 
 multicultural fabric of contemporary America.  Samina Ali’s first novel, 
 Madras on Rainy Days, was published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux earlier 
 this year, and Lysley Tenorio’s stories have been published in The 
 Atlantic Monthly, The Chicago Tribune, and Best New American Voices 2001.  
 Ali uses lyrical, haunting prose and richly drawn characters to explores 
 both the upside and the downside of being a first generation Muslim 
 Indo-American woman, trapped between the demands of competing cultural 
 heritages.  Tenorio’s writing is sophisticated, and his humorous and 
 insightful perceptions into his own Filipino cultural heritage has enabled 
 him to approach stories with campy premises with integrity and genuine 
 emotion.  Admission is $5 - $15 sliding scale.  Celebrating our 40th 
 Anniversary in 2005, Intersection for the Arts is San Francisco’s oldest 
 alternative art space and provides a place where provocative ideas, diverse 
 art forms, artists and audiences can intersect one another.  At 
 Intersection, experimentation and risk are possible, debate and critical 
 inquiry are embraced, community is essential,   resources and experience 
 are democratized, and today’s issues are thrashed about in the heat and 
 immediacy of live art.  $5 - $15 (your choice) sliding scale  \n
