Belinda Acosta Book Signing at Cuba Libre
Belinda Acosta would never contemplate anything so ordinary as a solemn book signing.

So to launch her book, “Damas, Dramas, and Ana Ruiz,” Cuba Libre was decked out like a Quinceañera, tissue flowers, crowns, ball gowns, pastel cupcakes and all.

I haven’t yet read the book, but Acosta fans gleamed with pleasure at the opportunity of having it signed by the merry Austin Chronicle columnist (formerly an American-Statesman contributor, if readers can remember back that far into our shared past).

To give you a sense of the festivity factor at this signing, it was scheduled to last four hours, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Vanessa Lively and Paul Saucido
Now that’s a serious party in the literary world. I had to leave early, but I’m sure it was still throbbing hours later.
