Alison Leslie Gold is an American author. Her books include Anne Frank Remembered, The Clairvoyant, The Devil's Mistress, and Memories of Anne Frank. She has written literary fiction as well as books for young people on a wide range of subjects including alcoholic intervention and the Holocaust as experienced by the young.[1][2] Her work has been translated into more than 25 languages.

Biography

Gold was born on July 13, 1945 in Brooklyn, New York, and grew up in New York City.[3] She was educated at the University of North Carolina, Mexico City College and the New School for Social Research in New York City. She currently shares her time between New York City and a small island in Greece.[4][5][6]

Gold has three siblings: poet Ted Greenwald,[7] bed-and-breakfast owner Nancy Greenwald[8] and film director Maggie Greenwald. Her brother-in-law David Mansfield is a musician and composer. Her son Thor Gold[9] is a film-maker.

Writing

Gold has described herself as a "salvager of other people's stories."[10] Her book Anne Frank Remembered was co-written with Miep Gies, the employee of Otto Frank who hid Anne Frank and rescued Anne’s diary.[11] Gold similarly worked with Anne Frank's childhood friend Hannah (Hanneli) Goslar to write Memories of Anne Frank: Reflections of a Childhood Friend.[12] Elie Wiesel said of Anne Frank Remembered: “Let us give recognition to Alison Gold. Without her and her talent of persuasion, without her writer’s talent, too, this poignant account, vibrating with humanity, would not have been written.”[13]

In 1992 Gold published The Clairvoyant, an "imagined history" of the life of Lucia Joyce, the daughter of James Joyce. The book's blend of historical fact with fictional elements was not well received by critics, with the Los Angeles Times observing that "so much is fabricated in Clairvoyant that anyone who reads it unaware of the real lives of James and Lucia Joyce will be led far off the mark",[14] and Publishers Weekly expressing concern that readers might "wonder about Gold's suggestions of incest and neglect".[15]
