For the next few months in Life Writers, we will study Javier Zamora’s memoir, Solito.

Until Solito, Javier Zamora was best known for his poetry, Unaccompanied, and you’ll definitely read that poetic phrasing in his memoir.

Check out the press and media page of Javier Zamora’s website for lots of replays and reprints of interviews with the author.

Here is the reading schedule for Solito, and I look forward to discussing this book with you.

In studying this book, please set aside your personal and political beliefs about illegal immigration and live this story through a nine-year-old boy’s experiences.

Please note that these lessons assume you have a copy of and have read or are reading Solito.
