Read The Room Presents... Luis A. Miranda Jr.!

June 15, 2024

Welcome to READ THE ROOM, a series of readings by some of New York's leading writers. Our guest readers represent a broad cross-section of the literary world, featuring authors of published works from top magazines, newspapers, websites and books.

For this installment, we are featuring a reading and conversation with Luis A. Miranda Jr., author of Relentless: My Story of the Latino Spirit That is Transforming America

“Essential reading from an expert voice….In Relentless, [Miranda] shares a fascinating narrative of his life and career--from his early days as a radically minded Puerto Rican activist to his decades of political advice and problem-solving. Miranda recounts the thrill of the ascendency of Hamilton, created by his son Lin-Manuel, and he details the suffering after the devastation of Puerto Rico by Hurricane Maria. Amid the triumphs and challenges, Miranda examines what his experience reveals about our ever-changing politics, demographics, and society.”—USA Today
