On Friday October 14th at 7pm Geronimo Tagatac will be reading at the Salem Book Bin.  Geronimo Tagatac’s father was from Ilocos Norte, in the Philippines.  His mother was a Russian Jew.  His stepmother is a Cajun, from a little town called Happy Jack.  He’s been mistaken for everything, everywhere.  His short fiction has appeared in Writers Forum, The Northwest Review, Alternatives Magazine, Orion Magazine, The Clackamas Literary Review, The Chautauqua Literary Review, Elohi Gadugi Journal, and The Gold Man Review.  His first book of short fiction, The Weight of the Sun, was a 2007 Oregon Literary Arts finalist. When he’s not lugging his backpack around different places in the world, Geronimo lives and writes, in Salem, Oregon.
