| Introduction | The Center for Literary Arts (CLA) provides readings, lectures and seminars that allow the San José community to interact with writers of contemporary literature who have demonstrated exceptional voice and vision. Its mission is to spread the influence of and interest in literature throughout the South Bay area and to facilitate cross-cultural understanding in the region's ethnically diverse population through the appreciation of works of literature. For twenty years the CLA’s Major Authors Series has been the most significant literary series in the region, presenting to the community five winners of the Nobel Prize, fifteen winners of the National Book Award and twenty-eight winners of the Pulitzer Prize. The CLA is funded by grants and donations from individuals and foundations. The Center for Literary Arts is part of the College of Humanities and Arts at San Jose State University. |
