Funeral for Flaca Book Release

Tryst Bar 19 SW 2nd Avenue, Portland, OR, United States

Celebrate the release of FUNERAL FOR FLACA: A MIXTAPE MEMOIR IN ESSAYS by Emilly Prado. After the completion of a year-long prose certificate program at the Independent Publishing Resource Center (with extensive curriculum dedicated to book design + production), Emilly has produced a novella-length collection of essays exploring identity and the body. Each of the 12 essays is titled with the name of a song to add context and give a nod to her love of music. Immerse yourself in an intimate evening celebrating the release of the title with a stellar lineup of BIPOC readers, a deliciously nostalgic all-vinyl blues & soul set from DJ Tiara Michelle, free cake, and plenty of goodies for sale (plus some for free!) Rather than spend your dollars…
