“[A] spirited and deeply researched project.... [Benkemoun’s] affection for her subject is infectious. This book gives a satisfying treatment to a woman who has been confined for decades to a Cubist’s limited interpretation.” — Joumana Khatib, The New York Times Merging biography, memoir, and cultural history, this compelling book, a bestseller in France, traces the life of Dora Maar through a serendipitous encounter with the artist’s address book. In search of a replacement for his lost Hermès agenda, Brigitte Benkemoun’s husband buys a vintage diary on eBay. When it arrives, she opens it and finds inside private notes dating back to 1951—twenty pages of phone numbers and addresses for Balthus, Brassaï, André Breton, Jean Cocteau, Paul Éluard, Leonor Fini, Jacqueline Lamba, and other artistic luminaries of the European avant-garde. After realizing that the address book belonged to Dora Maar—Picasso’s famous “Weeping Woman” and a brilliant artist in her own right—Benkemoun embarks on a two-year voyage of discovery to learn more about this provocative, passionate, and enigmatic woman, and the role that each of these figures played in her life. Longlisted for the prestigious literary award Prix Renaudot, Finding Dora Maar is a fascinating and breathtaking portrait of the artist. This work received support from the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Cultural Services of the French Embassy in the United States through their publishing assistance program.

Spanish speakers around the world for generations have told stories of La Llorona, "the weeping woman," and the many versions of this legendary phantom woman vary from one region to the next. In this book of fifty-six stories shared by people from the American Southwest as well as south of the border, there are dozens of versions of this ghostly specter that range from a terrifying skeletal creature with blood dripping from its eyes to a baby with fangs wrapped in a quilt -- but no matter what she looks like, she nearly always manages to terrorize her wayward victims into changing their ways.

For those who don't know her, she's just a white sandstone statue. Dressed in traditional regional clothing, she clutches a handkerchief in her right hand and overlooks six hundred small, perfectly manicured, boxwood hedge squares. To those who do know her, she represents a widow, a mother, a sister, a child, an aunt, or a grandmother in mourning over men who never returned after the war, leaving a gaping hole in their very existence, their community, and their lives. Janneke, a nurse, as well as a resistance courier, takes us chapter by chapter through the unfolding of one of the largest Nazi crimes in the Netherlands toward the end of World War 2, where, in retaliation for an attack on a German motor car by the resistance, the majority of the town's men were transported to Germany to be starved to death in German work camps. Many homes in the village were set ablaze, leaving women and children, not only without their husbands and fathers, but homeless as well. Will learning this story help future generations understand the futility of war and all the pain and suffering it causes?
