In this novel, author Francisco Goldman recounts the experiences of his protagonist, named Francisco Goldberg, as he straddles various identities—Catholic and Jewish, white and Latino, native and expat—while navigating the pleasures and pitfalls of love and international travel. Robert Fass provides a thoughtful narration, portraying Goldberg as an intellectually minded man who is baring his soul in a deeply self-revelatory work. Fass is introspective, confessional, and reflective in recounting Goldberg's life. His pacing is measured, and his vocal tone varied, conveying a contemplative approach. Fass employs slight accents to signal the native Spanish speakers in the work, such as Goldberg's soft-spoken Guatemalan mother. Spanning multiple decades and continents, this title is an epic exploration of a man and his family. S.E.G. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine
