Sid Gardner, right, co-author with Scott Robinson of “Crossings,” discusses the novel and his other books with Eduardo Santiago, in the most recent gathering of the Authors Series at Café Aroma last Sunday. The capacity crowd listened eagerly to his description of the massive deportation of 11 million people following the election of fictional President Ronald Matta. Gardner, who has extensive experience in American government and politics (as a Republican) and Robinson, who has lived and taught in Mexico for 40 years, intend this insightful novel to be a realistic exploration of some prevailing political ideas. Santiago edited the book, and as always, was familiar with the final product, allowing him to ask many insightful questions.Photo by Tom Kluzak
