Francisco Goldman | Conversation hosted by Junot Díaz

Francisco Goldman is the author of three novels: "The Long Night of White Chickens," which won the Sue Kaufman Award for First Fiction from the American Academy of Arts and Letters and was a finalist for the PEN/Faulkner award; "The Ordinary Seaman," which was a finalist for the International IMPAC Dublin Fiction Prize, The Los Angeles Times Book Prize, and the PEN/Faulkner award and was named one of the "Best Hundred American Books of the Century" by Hungry Mind Review; and "The Divine Husband." His new book "Say Her Name," which was featured on the cover of The New York Times Book Review, is an autobiographical novel that is based on Goldman's short marriage to Estrada, a fiction writer who died in a bodysurfing accident in 2007, two years into their marriage, when she was 30.

Goldman teaches creative writing and literature one semester a year at Trinity College. He has taught workshops at the New Journalism Foundation in Cartagena, Colombia. He lives in Brooklyn, NY, and Mexico City. Author Junot Díaz will host a conversation following the reading.
