JJFNF 2013 publishes essay collection

Congratulations to Margot Singer, the 2013 JJFNF winner, for the recent publication of Secret Agent Man, a collection of essays, by Barrow Street Press.

The title essay explores her memories of her father as it grapples with the riddle of whether our parents ever are who we imagine them to be. 

Bestselling author Maggie Smith says, “What we’re offered in Secret Agent Man is a singular mind at work, nimbly and deftly traversing history, archaeology,  geography,  photography, psycho-analysis, literature, personal narrative, and indeed personal mythology.”

And Publishers Weekly says, “With a gossamer touch, Singer thoroughly probes the boundaries between truth and fiction. The results are haunting.”
