Juan de Recacoechea to sign books at Libreria Martinez in Santa Ana

Libreria Martinez in Santa Ana and one of Bolivia’s most prominent living authors, Juan de Recacoechea would like to personally invite you to come and participate in the reading/signing of Recacoechea’s english version of his best selling novel, American Visa. The reading/signing will be on Sunday, October 28th at 1:00 PM.

Armed with fake papers, a handful of gold nuggets, and a snazzy custom-made suit, an unemployed schoolteacher with a singular passion for detective fiction sets out from small-town Bolivia on a desperate quest for an American visa, his best hope for escaping his painful past and reuniting with his grown son in Miami.
