I've been reading Tayo online, and damned if I fell for this writer, Jason Magabo Perez. His story, Oh Angelita Garcia! just blew me away. He does a lot of spoken word, but I'm looking to get my hands on more of his writing.I feel like a cheap fraud after reading him.
Jason Magabo Perez, writer and performer, youngest son of Leonora Magabo Perez, and alumnus of the University of California, San Diego, received his M.F.A. in Writing & Consciousness from the now defunct New College of California in San Francisco. His short fiction has been selected as a Finalist for Narrative Magazine’s 30 Below Story Contest and Fiction Contest, for Glimmer Train’s Family Matters Contest, and is forthcoming in TAYO Literary Magazine and Witness: Issue XXIII. A VONA Summer Voices Writing Workshop alumnus, and a featured artist for the New Americans Museum and the AjA Project, he was recently invited as a resident artist at the UCSD Cross-Cultural Center. He has read and performed at several university campuses and at various venues including the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts and the La Jolla Playhouse. Currently, he is writing a novel and teaches for the Ethnic Studies Program at the University of San Diego. - http://events.berkeley.edu/?event_ID=25565&date=2009-12-01&tab=all_events
