Adriana Williams, a world authority on Covarrubias, was a friend of Rosa and Miguel Covarrubias. Her book, Covarrubias, published in 1994 by the University of Texas Press, gives a fascinating view of Covarrubias' life and the artistic and intellectual culture of Mexico in the '30s and '40s.
The China I Knew is a journal written by Rosa Covarrubias in the early 1930s and recounts the trip she and Miguel took to China. Adriana edited the book and will talk about it and about her relationship with Rosa.
The China I Knew was printed letterpress by Terry Horrigan at her Protean Press. Terry will speak about her delight in collaborating with Adriana Williams on this and on a previous book, Luis Barragan, an Inner Life. Recollections.
