Earlier this evening, Daniel Chacon visited the Laredo Public Library. He read a few selections from his book of short stories, Unending Rooms. Afterwards, he took questions from the audience and stayed around to chat with people until the library closed. His friendly and inviting personality made it easy for young and old to ask questions about the progress of Chicano writing and writing in general. He said that interpretation of his work was best left to the readers since it did not matter what he meant; it was more important what message the reader got from it. Thanks to everybody who came out!
