Gary soto does not read his prose, in person, all that amazingly.

in general, he is not a good public speaker... he did the key note at a teacher conference i went to shortly after chato's kitchen was published... his books are great though!

Authors are not necessarily good speakers or readers. I have "Fahrenheit 451" on CD read by Ray Bradbury, and it's nothing special.

still... Gary Soto - that's pretty cool.

I got to hear Christopher Paul Curtis and Rodman Philbrick last year at the Read-180 conference. they were both very very good speakers.
