A NOVELIST’S RESPONSE TO A TRAGEDY
In 2005 the acclaimed novelist Francisco Goldman married a young Mexican writer, Aura Estrada. Less than two years later, she was dead, her neck broken while body surfing. Goldman blamed himself for Aura's death, but instead of taking his own life he confronted his grief by writing a novel, Say Her Name. A story of boundless love and unspeakable loss, it is also profoundly restorative: by recounting Aura's life, he has recreated a love affair that will never die.
