Hurowitz is joined in conversation by Francisco Goldman, prize-winning author of Say Her Name, The Long Night of White Chickens, Monkey Boy, and several other books. From the evolution of organized crime in Mexico to the militarization of the drug war to the devastation wrought on both sides of the border by the introduction of synthetic opioids like fentanyl, El Chapo is a gripping and comprehensive work of investigative, on-the-ground reporting. Hurowitz digs in deep beyond the legends and delves into El Chapo’s life and legacy-not just the hunt for him-revealing some of the most dramatic and often horrifying moments of his notorious career. This unputdownable book, written by a great new talent, brings El Chapo’s exploits into a focus that previous profiles have failed to capture. The Interior Circuit: A Mexico City Chronicle When I reviewed Francisco Goldman's 2011 autobiographical novel, SAY HER NAME, the story of his love affair and marriage to Aura Estrada and her death in a bodysurfing accident, I described it as distinctive for the unrelenting candor of its journey through the twinned emotions of love and grief. Greenlight neighbor Noah Hurowitz builds on his revelatory coverage for Rolling Stone of El Chapo’s federal drug-trafficking trial in El Chapo, a stunning investigation of the life and legend of Mexican kingpin Joaquín Archivaldo “El Chapo” Guzmán Loera. Francisco Goldman is the author of Say Her Name, The Interior Circuit: A Mexico City Chronicle and Monkey Boy, to be published in 2019. Noah Hurowitz presents El Chapo: The Untold Story of the World's Most Infamous Drug Lord St Joseph's University (Brooklyn Voices Series).
