One City, One Story

(cont. from page 1)

 Pasadena Public Library is set to hold a series of events for the 
2019 One City, One Story selection, In the Distance by author 
Hernán Diaz. Now in its 17th year, One City, One Story is designed 
to broaden and deepen an appreciation of reading and literature 
by recommending a compelling book that sparks a community 
conversation on important issues.

 A young Swedish immigrant finds himself penniless and alone in 
California. The boy travels East in search of his brother, moving on 
foot against the great current of emigrants pushing West. Driven 
back again and again, he meets naturalists, criminals, religious 
fanatics, swindlers, Indians, and lawmen, and his exploits turn 
him into a legend. Diaz defies the conventions of historical fiction 
and genre, offering a probing look at the stereotypes that populate 
our past and a portrait of radical foreignness. 

 Díaz will discuss Thursday, March 7 at 7 p.m. his experiences 
writing In the Distance. A question and answer session led 
by Pasadena Public Library Director Michelle Perera will 
immediately follow. Díaz’s book will be available for sale and 
signing following the program. 

 The event will be held at All Saints Church Sanctuary

132 N. Euclid Ave.
