All tickets will be held at the door.

This event has been organized by the Consulate General of Chile, and the Instituto Cervantes of Chicago.

The Malamor Trilogy has turned into a best-seller throughout Latin America. It has connected with readers using both social media as well as traditional fan clubs, and has also reached schools, bookstores, libraries and cultural centers across the globe. This is why this is a key moment to book a small tour within the United States. It is time Latinos on the mainland get to know and make this story -which has enraptured thousands- their own. The time has come for Malamor to work its magic in finding new readers who wish to continue being entertained while reading in their vernacular about the adventures of these universal characters.

José Ignacio Valenzuela is a prominent and prolific Chilean writer who has been featured in film, literature, television and theater. His work includes almost twenty books published in Latin America, among which are best sellers Trilogía del malamor and El filo de tu piel. He was selected by About.com, then part of the New York Times Company, as one of the 10 best Latin American writers under 40. The movie Miente, written by Valenzuela, was selected by Puerto Rico as its representative film for the 80th Academy Awards (2008). Amores, a TV series he created and wrote in 2004, was nominated for an EMMY. For more information visit www.chascas.com<http://www.chascas.com>
