"To Be Frank Diego is a quick read that offers a nice balance of humor and depth. It’s the kind of book where everything goes wrong and all the comical misadventures keep readers turning the pages to see how it finally gets right. Of course anyone from San Diego would certainly appreciate this book and the way it brings their city to life, but the deeper messages about breaking from one’s routine and seeing life through new eyes should appeal to readers anywhere."
Readers delve into both serious and funny sides of bicultural identity issues and relationships in the novel “To Be Frank Diego” as the main character makes a day-long journey through San Diego’s public transit system. Author Dominic Carrillo visits the Valley tonight to discuss his debut novel as well as to sign copies at the Camarena Memorial Library.
