 Hello, I'm Tomás Moniz, author of Rad Dad and Rad Families, and most recently, the author of Big Familia, available at the San Francisco Public Library. I'm coming to you from my writing studio in East Oakland to tell you a little bit about the book. Big Familia follows Juan Gutierrez, a self-employed single father, as he navigates a tumultuous year of inescapable change. Kicked by his past, his culture, and his sexuality, Juan struggles with ambivalence as he both seeks and spurns connection, all while cycling and dating and drinking at his favorite bar and parenting a determined and defiant teenager. With a blend of rye wit, sharp insight, and tenderness, Big Familia explores the complexities of desire and of emotion and the mysteries of the human heart. It also has my PO box at the end of it, so if you like it or want to write me, tell me how you feel about it, I promise to write you back. Keep supporting the San Francisco Public Library.
