Ruben Martinez, an Emmy award-winning journalist, and
one of America’s most celebrated and distinguished authors and
performer, will on March 27 read from his works as part of Agnes
Scott 2008 Spring Writers' Festival.
His interests vary widely, and among the topics he examines
in his courses are mixed-genre writing, post-colonial literatures and
disapora, and the peculiar particulars of Los Angeles (his hometown)
and the American West.
Rubén Martínez is the recipient of various
awards, and is noted for his dynamic reading performances. His essays,
opinions and reportage have appeared in the New York Times,
Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, San Jose Mercury
News, Salon, Village Voice, The Nation,
Spin, Sojourners, and Mother Jones, among
others. As a political commentator, he has appeared on ABC's Nightline
and Politically Incorrect, PBS's Frontline, NPR’s All Things Considered,
and on CNN. He is an associate editor for Pacific News Service and is
a former news editor of the L.A. Weekly.
In conjunction with the public reading, we have compiled
a bibliography of selected resources by and about the writer.
