Journalist Sam Quinones’ writing workshop, Tell Your True Tale, has produced its eighth volume of true stories. These are new writers stretching out and telling magnificent tales: … of a young boy watching the LA riots … a Chinese immigrant girl growing up at a South Central motel makes a friend … of a woman watching her grandmother die and remembering her life as a curandera … of the tormented friendship of two homeless men … of a woman who returns to east Texas and finds the story of the ex-slave who set her family forward. TYTT is a community writing project unlike any other - funded by the great generosity and vision of the LA County Library.
