A Conversation with Francisco Goldman (Pt.1) – 8pm Friday 25th April

During a recent visit to London for International Pen’s ‘Free the Word’ season, Guatemalan-American novelist Francisco Goldman talked to Tim Girven about his recent non-fiction work, The Art of Political Murder. An investigation into the assassination of Bishop Juan Gerardi in 1998, the book began life as an article undertaken for The New Yorker magazine. Finally published after eight years of first-person reporting, the book would subsequently take on a life of its own… with significant political ramifications for Guatemala.

With incidental music from Bloque, Malalma, Los de Abajo and Manu Negra; plus pieces by Colombian pianist and composer Laura Lambuley
The second part of this Clear Spot will be broadcast on Tuesday the 29th of April at 8pm.
