Crying in the Bathroom by Erika L. SánchezCall Number: Biography 921 SAN
Growing up as the daughter of Mexican immigrants in Chicago in the nineties, Erika Sánchez was a self-described pariah, misfit, and disappointment--a foul-mouthed, melancholic rabble-rouser who painted her nails black but also loved comedy, often laughing so hard with her friends that she had to leave her school classroom. Twenty-five years later, she's now an award-winning novelist, poet, and essayist. Sánchez writes about everything from white feminism to debilitating depression, revealing a rich interior life.
