Today, \u003ca href=\"http://yosimarreyes.com/\">Yosimar Reyes\u003c/a> has his own book club, the Yosi Book Club, which has cultivated a significant following among Latinx millennials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With an Instagram bio that reads “undocumented socialite,” the Los Angeles-based poet and writer is fiercely upending the trauma-forward narratives that often essentialize undocumented people.

Over 250 people responded to his social media call-out saying they wanted to attend. In need of a bigger venue, he linked up with Boyle Heights independent bookstore, Espacio 1839, to host the inaugural meet up in July of last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wanted to make sure that I was supporting a local bookstore and a small business because it's very easy for us to just click on Amazon and buy books. But we're not cognizant of the fact that Amazon is the reason why small bookstores are closing,” said Reyes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That first iteration of the book club, which author Kali Fajardo-Anstine attended, ended up packing the bookstore. The large turnout encouraged Reyes to continue posting book recommendations on social media. The next meetup featured Angie Cruz, author of \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/03/books/review/coming-of-age-as-an-immigrant-child-bride.html\">Dominicana\u003c/a>\".\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/B0cE4KZgEXW/?igshid=qh8uqbuh5am9\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So many people reached out to me and we're like, ‘Hey, I haven't read a book in years. I haven’t read a full book cover to cover since high school. Thank you for having the book club because it's making me feel like this is something I can access,’” Reyes recalled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of the draw is Yosimar’s infectious and honest personality that invites folks to show up as their authentic selves, regardless if they’ve stayed on top of the reading. “You might not have read the book, but there’s cultural wealth and lived experiences that you can articulate and show up for the book,” said Reyes.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Keeping Community Connected During COVID-19\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>When the pandemic hit in March, Yosimar had to recalibrate his book club. But having already cultivated a strong social media presence, it was a natural switch for Reyes to take the club virtual.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since April, he’s been hosting weekly conversations with Latinx authors on Instagram Live. He typically asks guests about their upbringing, their creative process, journey to success and what it's like navigating the white-dominated publishing industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wanted to demystify the writer. A lot of times we like to think of writers as these oracle beings or these all knowing people. But for me, it was like, I know these people, these people are nerds,” Reyes said. These raw conversations push back on the industry’s elitism and gatekeeping by encouraging more Latinx to see the value of writing their stories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/CAxxnGYAxGV/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One advantage to the author conversations going virtual is that more of his followers outside of Los Angeles can now participate. That was the case for Oakland resident Najla Gomez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even though [the pandemic] has been really hard on the spirit, on the mind, body ... being able to join a weekly space with Yosimar and a book club has just been phenomenal,” said Gomez, who has been buying a new book almost weekly since tuning in. “It’s a way that we can remain connected despite the physical distance. I definitely laugh a lot and I almost feel like I'm right there with Yosi and the author he is speaking to.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One way readers and the writers connect with each other is by posting reactions and questions during the Instagram Live. It’s also common to see people shout out each other’s usernames and show love with emojis of hearts, raised fists and flames whenever Yosimar and his guest speak truth to power.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Let’s Talk About Anti-Blackness\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>During a recent \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/tv/CBEjPgBgOn0/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\">iteration\u003c/a> of the book club that got more than 2,000 views, Reyes used his platform to urge readers to talk to their Spanish speaking family members about the Black Lives Matter movement. He voiced his outrage that Spanish language news outlets had been \u003ca href=\"https://www.latinorebels.com/2020/06/03/univisiontelemundoprotests/\">focusing on the looting\u003c/a> during these national protests instead of the issues at stake — the country's racial history and the police violence that has taken the lives of countless Black people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Yosimar Reyes\"]'I think it’s so easy to blame everything on whiteness. What’s harder is for us to stop and say how we’re perpetuating this whiteness as well.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moreover, Reyes called on his readers to look inward and reflect on the ways that anti-Blackness shows up in Latinx cultures saying, “I think it’s so easy to blame everything on whiteness. What’s harder is for us to stop and say how we’re perpetuating this whiteness as well.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Commonly, the struggles and contributions of Afro-Latinx have been erased within Latinidad, including the way Black Latinx immigrants are often left out of the conversation and news coverage of immigration. This erasure goes back to European invasion when Spanish colonizers created a racial hierarchy that put Indigenous and African people at the bottom. As a result, colorism has been embedded in Latinx cultures, which Reyes and his guest, \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/thecurlyvshow/?hl=en\">Curly Velsaquez,\u003c/a> discussed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What are we doing about colonization in our own communities so that we can be better allies to the Black community?” asked Velasquez. “It's also acknowledging that we have Black people in the Latinx community too.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"books\" label=\"related coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the conversation pivoted from his usual format of interviewing an author about their book, it resonated with many of his readers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As someone who has been extremely frustrated and disappointed with the onslaught of anti-Black sentiment from the non-Black Latinx people in my life, Yosi's talk was a refreshing reminder that the pain folks are inflicting with their words reflects hundreds of years of colonization,\" said Najla Gomez, a regular of the club.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A big part of the work right now, Yosimar explained, is translating the issues so that our Spanish speaking relatives stay informed. “We tend to directly translate English vernacular into Spanish.

Today, \u003ca href=\"http://yosimarreyes.com/\">Yosimar Reyes\u003c/a> has his own book club, the Yosi Book Club, which has cultivated a significant following among Latinx millennials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With an Instagram bio that reads “undocumented socialite,” the Los Angeles-based poet and writer is fiercely upending the trauma-forward narratives that often essentialize undocumented people. Reyes’ work, while sobering, is humorous, joyful and rebellious — a stark contrast from the way these stories are often told by reporters and authors who write from an outsider's perspective.

Over 250 people responded to his social media call-out saying they wanted to attend. In need of a bigger venue, he linked up with Boyle Heights independent bookstore, Espacio 1839, to host the inaugural meet up in July of last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wanted to make sure that I was supporting a local bookstore and a small business because it's very easy for us to just click on Amazon and buy books. But we're not cognizant of the fact that Amazon is the reason why small bookstores are closing,” said Reyes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That first iteration of the book club, which author Kali Fajardo-Anstine attended, ended up packing the bookstore. The large turnout encouraged Reyes to continue posting book recommendations on social media. The next meetup featured Angie Cruz, author of \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/03/books/review/coming-of-age-as-an-immigrant-child-bride.html\">Dominicana\u003c/a>\".\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"instagramLink","attributes":{"named":{"instagramId":"B0cE4KZgEXW"},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>“So many people reached out to me and we're like, ‘Hey, I haven't read a book in years. I haven’t read a full book cover to cover since high school. Thank you for having the book club because it's making me feel like this is something I can access,’” Reyes recalled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of the draw is Yosimar’s infectious and honest personality that invites folks to show up as their authentic selves, regardless if they’ve stayed on top of the reading. “You might not have read the book, but there’s cultural wealth and lived experiences that you can articulate and show up for the book,” said Reyes.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Keeping Community Connected During COVID-19\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>When the pandemic hit in March, Yosimar had to recalibrate his book club. But having already cultivated a strong social media presence, it was a natural switch for Reyes to take the club virtual.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since April, he’s been hosting weekly conversations with Latinx authors on Instagram Live. He typically asks guests about their upbringing, their creative process, journey to success and what it's like navigating the white-dominated publishing industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wanted to demystify the writer. A lot of times we like to think of writers as these oracle beings or these all knowing people. But for me, it was like, I know these people, these people are nerds,” Reyes said. These raw conversations push back on the industry’s elitism and gatekeeping by encouraging more Latinx to see the value of writing their stories.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"instagramLink","attributes":{"named":{"instagramId":"CAxxnGYAxGV"},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>One advantage to the author conversations going virtual is that more of his followers outside of Los Angeles can now participate. That was the case for Oakland resident Najla Gomez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even though [the pandemic] has been really hard on the spirit, on the mind, body ... being able to join a weekly space with Yosimar and a book club has just been phenomenal,” said Gomez, who has been buying a new book almost weekly since tuning in. “It’s a way that we can remain connected despite the physical distance. I definitely laugh a lot and I almost feel like I'm right there with Yosi and the author he is speaking to.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One way readers and the writers connect with each other is by posting reactions and questions during the Instagram Live. It’s also common to see people shout out each other’s usernames and show love with emojis of hearts, raised fists and flames whenever Yosimar and his guest speak truth to power.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Let’s Talk About Anti-Blackness\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>During a recent \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/tv/CBEjPgBgOn0/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\">iteration\u003c/a> of the book club that got more than 2,000 views, Reyes used his platform to urge readers to talk to their Spanish speaking family members about the Black Lives Matter movement. He voiced his outrage that Spanish language news outlets had been \u003ca href=\"https://www.latinorebels.com/2020/06/03/univisiontelemundoprotests/\">focusing on the looting\u003c/a> during these national protests instead of the issues at stake — the country's racial history and the police violence that has taken the lives of countless Black people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"'I think it’s so easy to blame everything on whiteness.

What’s harder is for us to stop and say how we’re perpetuating this whiteness as well.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Commonly, the struggles and contributions of Afro-Latinx have been erased within Latinidad, including the way Black Latinx immigrants are often left out of the conversation and news coverage of immigration. This erasure goes back to European invasion when Spanish colonizers created a racial hierarchy that put Indigenous and African people at the bottom. As a result, colorism has been embedded in Latinx cultures, which Reyes and his guest, \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/thecurlyvshow/?hl=en\">Curly Velsaquez,\u003c/a> discussed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What are we doing about colonization in our own communities so that we can be better allies to the Black community?” asked Velasquez. “It's also acknowledging that we have Black people in the Latinx community too.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"aside","attributes":{"named":{"tag":"books","label":"related coverage "},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the conversation pivoted from his usual format of interviewing an author about their book, it resonated with many of his readers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As someone who has been extremely frustrated and disappointed with the onslaught of anti-Black sentiment from the non-Black Latinx people in my life, Yosi's talk was a refreshing reminder that the pain folks are inflicting with their words reflects hundreds of years of colonization,\" said Najla Gomez, a regular of the club.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A big part of the work right now, Yosimar explained, is translating the issues so that our Spanish speaking relatives stay informed. “We tend to directly translate English vernacular into Spanish. But it doesn't work. It needs to have a cultural translation that is rooted in our households,” said Reyes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While these are ongoing conversations that no doubt extend beyond this virtual book, the points raised are a reflection of the club’s inclusive ethos.

You came with your portable typewriter and a dream of writing the next great American novel. The year after, your father, who you called 'Pop,' used his savings to buy a train ticket from Coney Island to L.A.

In the back of my throat I can, you know, hear them. And I think that comes from when I was a kid in Chicago. That was one way you could get some credibility if you weren't an athlete, which I wasn't, or if you weren't so popular, which I wasn't. If you can imitate a teacher -- or, the high watermark was if you could just invent a totally new guy, you know like, \"Dan from the River\" or something.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So it was just for fun and for some status, and then many years later, after many years of me trying to be more of a literary writer, it clicked that that was actually how I could do it. You know, I could just literally just settle into that mode of trying to invent a voice, and then write along the way.

So this is a zone between the moment you die and the moment whatever happens next. In the book, one of the sort of salient features is that you in that zone is you times a thousand what you are right now. So whatever your thoughts and your habits and your prejudices and your fears are, those things get supersized and you have to deal with them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What would be you a thousand times right now?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Probably too much ambition and not enough love. That's what I struggle with, because I've always wanted to be a writer, I love it, and it's become a lot of fun, and yet it blocks out a lot of other things. So I'd probably have a giant pen that I had to carry around all day and all night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>During the 2016 election, you \u003ca href=\"https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/07/11/george-saunders-goes-to-trump-rallies\">covered some of then-candidate Trump's rallies\u003c/a>. One of them was near here in San Jose. What's it like going from writing about Lincoln to writing about Trump?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well it was kind of a shock. I found out that your mind on novel is really expansive and generous, and you kind of love all the characters, and your job is to get in there and basically give them a voice, you know, very generously. And then to segue into that Trump campaign and the necessary immersion in social media and TV and cable and all of that -- I just felt a kind of sudden aggressive, agitated energy. I mean, I'm a liberal left of Gandhi. I just want to be right and prove to those dummies that I was right. And it's not a pleasant state. I much prefer the novelistic one. So it was a shock.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The trajectory of that piece was, I first was in Arizona and I saw some Trump people beating up protesters. That was right in line with my natural allegiance. Then, the San Jose rally was really pivotal because I saw the opposite. I saw, for example, this one 70-year-old woman get slapped on her knees by an anti-Trump person. So that kind of rounded out the picture for me. It made me realize that there was an energy that Trump was releasing that was infecting everybody. And that's been kind of my way of seeing it since.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>When you're not writing about dead and living presidents, you live near here in Santa Cruz, at least part of the year. What do you like to do around there on weekends?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, we do it real simple. We have two dogs, so we take them down to the ocean and let them swim. My wife and I are both writers, and we're finding out that we're both workaholics, so we really like to work. And our kids are grown now, so we have a lot of time.

His latest work is the 2017 Man Booker award-winning novel, \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Lincoln-Bardo-Novel-George-Saunders/dp/0812995341\">Lincoln in the Bardo\u003c/a>,\" which is set in a graveyard at the outset of the Civil War. The novel, Saunders' first, centers on Abraham Lincoln as he grieves for his son Willie, who died of typhoid when he was 11 years old.\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.penguinrandomhouseaudio.com/lincolninthebardo\">audio book\u003c/a> for \"Lincoln in the Bardo\" features an ensemble cast of more than 150 people, including Nick Offerman, Julianne Moore, Keegan-Michael Key and Saunders himself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>When you're writing, are you imaging how the voices will sound when you hear them?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yeah that's exactly how it is. In the back of my throat I can, you know, hear them. And I think that comes from when I was a kid in Chicago. That was one way you could get some credibility if you weren't an athlete, which I wasn't, or if you weren't so popular, which I wasn't. If you can imitate a teacher -- or, the high watermark was if you could just invent a totally new guy, you know like, \"Dan from the River\" or something.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So it was just for fun and for some status, and then many years later, after many years of me trying to be more of a literary writer, it clicked that that was actually how I could do it. You know, I could just literally just settle into that mode of trying to invent a voice, and then write along the way. So -- very much voice driven, for sure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>How would you describe what the \"Bardo\" in \"Lincoln In The Bardo\" is?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bardo to the Tibetans is just transitional space. So this is a zone between the moment you die and the moment whatever happens next. In the book, one of the sort of salient features is that you in that zone is you times a thousand what you are right now. So whatever your thoughts and your habits and your prejudices and your fears are, those things get supersized and you have to deal with them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What would be you a thousand times right now?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Probably too much ambition and not enough love. That's what I struggle with, because I've always wanted to be a writer, I love it, and it's become a lot of fun, and yet it blocks out a lot of other things. So I'd probably have a giant pen that I had to carry around all day and all night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>During the 2016 election, you \u003ca href=\"https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/07/11/george-saunders-goes-to-trump-rallies\">covered some of then-candidate Trump's rallies\u003c/a>. One of them was near here in San Jose. What's it like going from writing about Lincoln to writing about Trump?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well it was kind of a shock. I found out that your mind on novel is really expansive and generous, and you kind of love all the characters, and your job is to get in there and basically give them a voice, you know, very generously. And then to segue into that Trump campaign and the necessary immersion in social media and TV and cable and all of that -- I just felt a kind of sudden aggressive, agitated energy. I mean, I'm a liberal left of Gandhi. I just want to be right and prove to those dummies that I was right. And it's not a pleasant state. I much prefer the novelistic one. So it was a shock.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The trajectory of that piece was, I first was in Arizona and I saw some Trump people beating up protesters. That was right in line with my natural allegiance. Then, the San Jose rally was really pivotal because I saw the opposite. I saw, for example, this one 70-year-old woman get slapped on her knees by an anti-Trump person. So that kind of rounded out the picture for me. It made me realize that there was an energy that Trump was releasing that was infecting everybody. And that's been kind of my way of seeing it since.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>When you're not writing about dead and living presidents, you live near here in Santa Cruz, at least part of the year. What do you like to do around there on weekends?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, we do it real simple. We have two dogs, so we take them down to the ocean and let them swim. My wife and I are both writers, and we're finding out that we're both workaholics, so we really like to work. And our kids are grown now, so we have a lot of time.
