By invitation of the Center for Writers & Translators, Alison Leslie Gold will launch her new work, no. 12 in the Cahiers Series, Lost and Found. Best known for her book Anne Frank Remembered, Alison Leslie Gold will present and discuss her most personal work to date, a memoir centered on recent losses of loved ones, and the various findings that may alleviate the darkness. Her cahier’s narrative is set within the wider context of the displacement of European Jewry in the 20th century and is accompanied by 13 paintings from artist Charlotte Salomon’s masterpiece Leben? oder Teater?

 

 

Alison Leslie Gold

 

Alison Leslie Gold's Holocaust and World War II-related works include Anne Frank Remembered, written with Miep Gies, Memories of Anne Frank: Reflections of a Childhood Friend, A Special Fate, and Fiet's Vase and Other Stories of Survival (the last of which she has said is her farewell to this subject matter). Elie Wiesel wrote of Alison Gold and Anne Frank Remembered: “Without her and her talent of persuasion, without her writer's talent, too, this poignant account, vibrating with humanity, would not have been written”. Her nonfiction work has received tributes ranging from a Best of the Best Award (granted by the American Library Association) to a Notable Book for a Global Society Award to a Christopher Award. She has also published fiction, including Clairvoyant and The Devil's Mistress, the latter being nominated for the National Book Award. She divides her time between Manhattan, Hydra (Greece), and British Columbia.
