X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>This month we'll be meeting in the Martin 
 Luther King Jr Memorial Library's conference room&nbsp\;401-D to discuss <

 f0-79183cc06602&amp\;entityType=FormatGroup">Monstrilio</a> by Gerardo S&a
 acute\;mano C&oacute\;rdova.</p>\n<p>Grieving mother Magos cuts out a piec
 e of her deceased eleven-year-old son Santiago&rsquo\;s lung. Acting on fi
 erce maternal instinct and the dubious logic of an old folktale\, she nurt
 ures the lung until it gains sentience\, growing into the carnivorous litt
 le Monstrilio she keeps hidden within the walls of her family&rsquo\;s dec
 aying Mexico City estate. Eventually\, Monstrilio begins to resemble the S
 antiago he once was\, but his innate impulses&mdash\;though curbed by his 
 biological and chosen family&rsquo\;s communal care&mdash\;threaten to des
 troy this fragile second chance at life.</p>\n<p>A thought-provoking medit
 ation on grief\, acceptance\, and the monstrous sides of love and loyalty\
 , Gerardo S&aacute\;mano C&oacute\;rdova blends bold imagination and evoca
 tive prose with deep emotional rigor. Told in four acts that span the glob
 e from Brooklyn to Berlin\,&nbsp\;Monstrilio&nbsp\;offers\, with uncanny c
 larity\, a cathartic and precise portrait of being human.</p>\nhttps://dcl
