"This soulful collection is perfect for fans of The Moth or Humans
of New York." — Publishers Weekly People in San Antonio
love to tell stories. Worth Repeating: San Antonio Stories is a
collection of forty true tales, epic adventures, and intimate
revelations from the heart of one of America’s fastest growing
and most culturally diverse cities. There is the hilarious
chronicle of being crowned Turkey Queen of Cuero, as well as
stories of finding one’s place as an immigrant or refugee, the
heartbreak of being on the AIDS epidemic’s front lines, and the
redemption in writing My Little Pony fan fiction. From the birth of
a Freedom Rider to the origins of a literary legend, from the
search for a murdered mother’s memories to passing our abilities
and disabilities along to our children, the pieces here are as
varied and nuanced as the city its authors have called home at one
time or another. They might not all take place in Texas, but every
story has roots in its streets, suburbs, and history. Whether
it’s an account of being stranded in Uganda, growing up in a
Mexican border barrio, catching swine flu in Thailand, being among
Harvard University’s first Black architecture students, growing
up in Iran, or leaving India for a new life in Texas, each story
has a soul that is puro San Antonio. From last chances to first
tries, all of these personal narratives were originally performed
in front of an audience at Worth Repeating, Texas Public Radio’s
live storytelling series. Writers include Heather Armstrong,
Tanveer Arora, Jennie Badger, Kiran Kaur Bains, Marion Barth,
Sheila Black, Barbara Bowie, Norma Elia Cantú, Kelly Grey
