Crowning a string of very strong reviews, Francisco Goldman’s “fictional memoir,” Say Her Name, is reviewed on the cover of the April 17th NYT Book Review. About the author’s wife, who died as result of a body-surfing accident, reviewer Robin Romm says. “So remarkable is this resurrection that at times I felt the book itself had a pulse.”

The book is also the #1 Indie Next pick for April.

Obviously, this book is more personal than Goldman’s previous four titles. For more background on Goldman and his earlier works,  the Guardian offers an excellent profile.
