Of course we’ll begin by observing a minute of silence for the memory of the revered professor I’ll be pinchhitting for. Tough shoes to fill, indeed, for the class was supposed to have been guided by no less than the former Comm Department Chair, a full-fledged legend as an educator, among other hats she wore.

First off, our longtime buddy Luis Francia has received the 2002 PEN Center Open Award for his book of essays, Eye of the Fish: A Personal Archipelago (Kaya Press, 2001), which we lavished with praise in this space last year. 


The New York-based Francia is on a princely roll. A special evening at UCLA has been arranged to celebrate the book and its author on May 2.

Migrating to New York in his 20s, and steadily "making it" there so that now he can make it anywhere, Luis or Luigi as we once called him has turned into a virtual citizen of the world. Well, make that specifically the U.S. and the land of his birth, good ol’ RP, where he repairs to now and then.
