Author Visit! Cris Mazza & Dan Libman

We at Books on First are so excited to have Cris Mazza, author of the book It's No Puzzle: a memoir in artifact and Dan Libman, with Book of Grudges here to discuss their new books.

It's No Puzzle explores heritage, legacy, and identity through her parents’ personal artifacts — letters, photos, newspaper clippings, school records, concert programs, etc — which tell stories that allow glimpses of Southern California culture in the 1940s50s and early 60s. 

At turns philosophical, funny, and profane, Libman's Book of Grudges recounts life on a family farm just after the death of the farmer: a year “not especially well lived.”
