Editor,
Members of the Department of Spanish and Portuguese and guests will pay homage to Fernando Garavito, the renowned Colombian writer and former student and teacher at UNM. Garavito died Oct. 27 in an automobile accident in Marfa, Texas.
No one else was involved.
The homage will take place Friday on the third floor of Ortega Hall at noon with a biographical sketch, the historical circumstances of his exile as a political refugee in the U.S., and with readings of his work in Spanish and English. All are welcome to attend and participate.
