Kali Fajardo-Anstine’s debut novel “Woman of Light” is a must read. 📖
The profound lives of Kali Fajardo-Anstine’s ancestors and elders reverberated in her present day, demanding to be felt, heard, shared.
The Denver resident’s debut novel “Woman of Light” was published last week to the delight of readers who devoured her acclaimed short story collection “Sabrina & Corina,” which won a 2020 American Book Award. By the time Fajardo-Anstine was in second grade, she was writing short stories and attending writing workshops.
Fajardo-Anstine struggled during her time at Arvada’s Pomona High School, finding solace in librarians who squirreled away books they thought she’d enjoy. She’d spend her lunch periods in the library absorbed in the dramas of Franz Kafka, Kurt Vonnegut, José Saramago and Sandra Cisneros, and was determined that one day her words would be a refuge for readers, too.
The MSU Denver graduate earned her master of fine arts from the University of Wyoming, traveled around the country for work and fellowship opportunities, and crafted and refined her stories along the way.
