We thank those of you who joined us in this ambitious project in celebration of the “1 Book. 1 San Antonio.” program. This initiative is a community-wide reading project to encourage all residents to read the same book at the same time. The goal is to bring the community together through the common bond of reading. The broadcasts on KSTX were sponsored by HEB, the San Antonio Express-News and the San Antonio Public Library Foundation.
Santos is a Program Officer at the Ford Foundation in New York and the first Mexican-American Rhodes scholar to study at Oxford. He is a well-known journalist and author of several television documentaries.

Between
August 7 and August 18, 2006, Texas
Public Radio presented on-air readings of the family
memoir of San Antonio author John Phillip Santos, Places Left
Unfinished at the Time of Creation. The story, read by
Santos himself, was broadcast on KSTX 89.1 FM. The
chapters are archived on this page to listen online or download as MP3
files.
The book is a powerful memoir of Mexican-American life. Born in San Antonio in 1957, the author is a journalist and television documentary producer for CBS and the first
Mexican-American Rhodes Scholar.
He grew up in an extended family whose elder members remembered a Texas that had not yet become anglicized.
Through their eyes, Santos revisits that time, looking deeply into the Mexican past as a way of informing the present.

The "1 City 1 Book" concept was initiated in 1998 by librarian Nancy Pearl of the Washington Center for the Book at the Seattle Public Library.
Since then, the program has gained enormous popularity from one side of the country to the other, and even in other parts of the world.
Originally meant to encourage reading and discussion, the program can focus on a single community or span whole cities or states.
Many explore local literature or themes, while others choose wide-ranging selections that examine different historical periods and genres.|
