Through the fictionalized voice of Sara, the novel journeys through the labyrinth of the author&#8217;s political exile. Alicia Kozameh was a student of literature and philosophy at the National University of Rosario in Argentina before being arrested and detained as a political prisoner in 1975. She was released three years later narrowly escaping the fate of the disappeared, and left for Los Angeles, California as a political exile. It is at this point, with all the weight of what she had just experienced, where the novel &#8220;259 Leaps, the Last Immortal&#8221; begins. Through the 259 leaps in the book, the reader is drawn into Kozameh&#8217;s beautifully articulated memories, anecdotes, flashes of nostalgia, and philosophical musings about the difficulties of life in exile. Julian Ortega, author of \u201cPoetics of Change\u201d said Kozameh\u2019s novel \u201cis a surprising, engaging, exhilarating book from a gifted writer with a major story to tell.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alicia Kozameh will be presenting &#8220;259 Leaps, the Last Immortal,&#8221; as well as &#8220;Steps Under Water,&#8221; at Libreria Martinez Books &#038; Art Gallery on Thursday, September 20th at 7 p.m. Libreria Martinez is located at 1110 N.
