The Curators

Violence haunts 1915 Atlanta and so does the golem a group of girls creates A dark, lyrical blend of historical fiction and magical realism, The Curators examines a critically underexplored event in American history through unlikely eyes. On the Jewish south side of Atlanta in 1915, in the days after the lynching of Leo Frank, fourteen-year-old Ana Wulff and her friends are keeping Frank's story alive through any means possible. Indeed, the girls are so obsessed with the two-year-long Frank case that they build a golem in his image, using dirt from Ana's garden. But when their seemingly innocent game gets out of hand, they, as the golem's creators, must decide what their responsibility requires of them.
