Cristina Garcia, author of six novels, was the keynote speaker at the the fourth annual Comadres and Compadres Writers Conference, which took place Saturday, October 3 at the New School. The full-day event was flooded with creative workshops, networking opportunities and a plethora of writers, agents and editors.
Cuban-born and New York-raised author Cristina García was inadvertently nudged toward writing by her diary-prying mother. However, it was her own investigation of expression and culture that led her flourishing career and the creation of her many grabbing works, including "King of Cuba."
