Xochitl Gonzales on 'Anita de Monte Laughs Last' (Get Lit)

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Apr 2, 2024

We air highlights from our March Get Lit with All Of It book club event with author Xochitl Gonzales. We spent the month reading her novel, Anita de Monte Laughs Last, which tells the story of two women, a once-famous artist named Anita de Monte, who died tragically and has been mostly forgotten to history, and Raquel, the student who decides to look into Anita's story for her senior thesis. But the deeper Raquel digs into this story, the more she starts to wonder if her own story is starting to mirror Anita's. Gonzales speaks about the book, and takes questions from our audience. The conversation was hosted by All Of It producer Jordan Lauf.
