MARIA FINN

02/11/2010 7:00 pm

The end of Bay Area writer Maria Finn's marriage was also the starting point of new adventures in the world of Argentinean tango, a story told in her autobiographical book, Hold Me Tight and Tango Me Home (Algonquin). After making friends at New York City tango milongas, or social dances, she studied the history and culture of tango, visiting Buenos Aires, and finding ... new love. "A lively debut memoir, brimming with tango history and lore." – Booklist. Tonight's program includes a tango demonstration by instructors from the Century Ballroom (soon to be our next-door neighbors on Capitol Hill). The Century Ballroom hosts a monthly Milonga—held this month on February 12—and an ongoing series of tango classes. For more information about both, please see www.centuryballroom.com. Maria Finn is also the author of the newly arriving A Little Piece of Earth: How to Grow Your Own Food in Small Spaces (Rizzoli).
