I am putting together a program for librarians on multicultural fiction, by which I mean
trends, popular authors, and collection development to best represent and market
fiction from around the world. We all can purchase Amy Tan and Bharati Mukherjee
with confidence, but how can we discover other authors?

Can anyone recommend a potential speaker on this subject? Our organization, the
Adult Reading Round Table of Illinois, can pay an honorarium and travel expenses.

Please email me privately if you have suggestions or wish to suggest yourself!

Best,

Roberta

Your query reminded me of a series of courses taught annually at the Barnard
College of Columbia University's Women's Center by Timea Tzell (not sure of
spelling) and other professors, you might want to give the center a call and
ask for their reading lists for the courses or ask to speak to one of the
professors. I know that the theme of one of the courses was contemporary
fiction around the world (or something like that i.e. the courses are not
solely women's fiction topics) and it included authors I had never heard of.

I have a book "500 great books by women," Bauermeister et al, 1994. One
of the indices is "Index of books by region and country".

Sandra Cisneros spoke at the Texas Library Association meeting two years ago
on writing multicultural fiction. It was wonderful! She currently lives in
San Antonio, Texas, but grew up in Chicago, which might give an interesting
perspective.

The opinions are my own; the library wouldn't want 'em!

Dear Roberta:
I think Hazel Roche at ALA would be a great speaker. I also
recommend reading Growing up ethnic in America edited by Marie
Gillen for more ideas on speakers.

What Do I Read Next?: Multicultural Literature lists information and
expert-recommended similar titles for over 1300 books by African American,
Asian American, Latino, and Native American authors. The similar titles
are a good way to identify new and unfamiliar authors.
