This Week! A Borders Bookstore Reading | God Help Us! Chicanos Invade Corporate America! Can a Wal-Mart Reading Be Far Behind?

As the ghosts of Cesar Chavez, Rita Hayworth, Lupe Vélez, and Charlton Heston (in brown face like in Touch of Evil, and yes! I know the NRA-shill is not dead yet) wag their fingers at me disapprovingly, I am here to announce my May 17, 2007 reading at the San Diego Mission Valley Borders megastore. May the tortured souls of small, independent bookstores past (The Blue Door, San Diego; Anna's Open Books, Laredo) forgive this mercenary act of filthy lucre-laden commerce!
