Say Her Name by Francisco Goldman made the best reviewed non-fiction titles of the year list. From that review: "Goldman’s sublime and heart-rending story of his marriage to Mexican writer Aura Estrada, and of her tragic death is a book about loss and grief and the attendant "guilt, shame, and dread, on an endless loop." Say Her Name is also an unforgettable love story, a testament to a great love and love’s greatness." (coming in paperback in April 2012)
Francisco Goldman was also interviewed on CBC’s Writers and Company with Eleanor Wachtel when he was in Toronto this past fall for IFOA. It aired November 27th. Catch the full interview here
Witches on the Road Tonight by Sheri Goldman made the best foreign non-fiction list. Here’s what reviewer Andrew Pyper had to say: "Holman jumps between pre-Second World War Appalachia and present-day New York in a tale of magic, love and deep, dark secrets. There is humour in her prose, but no camp, no ghoulish excess. Witches is a serious novel about America’s relationship with home grown mythologies: horror B-movies, Southern black magic and, yes, witches." (now available in paperback)
Both are published by Atlantic Monthly Press
