''Give Sorrow Words: Maryse Holder's Letters from Mexico'' is a memoir of feminism and sexual adventurism in Mexico by American author Maryse Holder. The book was published posthumously in 1979 by Grove Press, after Holder was murdered in Mexico in 1977, at age 36. == History == After being dismissed as a Professor at City University in a mass firing due to NYC fiscal problems, Holder decided to pursue a life exploring sex in Mexico. During the course of two long trips to Mexico from 1975 to 1977, she wrote a series of letter to Edith Jones, a friend in New York City. In these letters she describes her experiences, including her many sexual adventures, in what she called her "vacation from feminism." Holder's writing, which she describes as an attempt to "...wring a masterpiece from my life." has been compared to Jean Genet,〔(Kirkus Review, June 4th, 1979 )〕 Jean Rhys and Henry Miller〔From Introduction by Kate Millett to ''Give Sorrow Words'', Grove Press 1979〕 in its candor, artistry and intelligence. In addition to the letters, the published book has an introduction by feminist author Kate Millett, and concludes with an epilogue describing Holder's life and death by Selma Yampolsky, a close friend of Holder's.
