Francisco / Alison Mills Newman ; foreword by Saidiya Hartman. by Mills Newman, Alison, author. New York : New Directions Publishing Corporation, 2023.

Description:  xvii, 117 pages ; 21 cm. Requests:  1 Summary:  "Alison Mills Newman's innovative, genre-bending novel has long been out of print and impossible to find. Written in her early twenties in a 'fluently funky mix of standard and nonstandard English,' as the poet and scholar Harryette Mullen once put it, 'Francisco' is the first-person account of a young actress and musician and her growing disillusionment with her success in Hollywood. Her wildly original and vivid voice chronicles a free-spirited life with her filmmaker lover, visiting friends and family up and down California, as well as her involvement in the 1970s Black Arts Movement. Angela Davis, Muhammad Ali, Pharoah Sanders, Melvin Van Peeples, Frank Silvera, and Amiri Baraka make appearances, along with other artists and writers like Ishmael Reed and Joe Overstreet. Love and friendship, long, meaningful conversations, parties and dancing in Berkeley and LA --'Francisco' celebrates 'the workins of a positive alive life that is good value, quality, carin, truth ... the gift of art for the survival of the human heart'"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Mills Newman Checked out 05/23/2024 Add Copy to MyList
