Annotation:
Francisco Goldman's novelistic memoir SAY HER NAME grapples with grief and guilt in the aftermath of his bride's death in an accident at a Mexican beach. Passing back and forth in time between Aura's life and Francisco's mourning, the book attempts to measure the human loss in a way beyond either memorial portraiture or documentary tragedy. Goldman's story aims to be a resurrection of his lover, to answer his bereavement by creating an invincible companion possessing Aura's memories, who can survive in literature as she did not in real life.
