Alison Mills Newman's innovative, genre-bending novel has long been
out of print and impossible to find. 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. Love and friendship,
long, meaningful conversations, parties and dancing-Francisco
celebrates, as she improvises in the book, "the workings of a
positive alive life that is good value, quality, carin, truth ...
the gift of art for the survival of the human heart."
