  Aurelio Espinosa Jr. dead at 97

 Incognito by Mar’a Espinosa
Espinosa, like a skilled detective, gathers the fragmentary narratives of the conversos, who, after all, were disinclined to leave any written records for fear of the Inquisition, which contrary to popular belief, was not to prosecute Jews who openly practiced their faith, but to police the religious conduct of the New Christians.
Los Angeles-based Mar’a Espinosa has turned her own research into a compelling novel chronicling the turbulent life and times of her Sephardic ancestor Alfonso Valdez de Echevaría, born to a wealthy maritime merchant family in the Spanish port city of Cádiz in the late 15th century.
Espinosa's graphic description of an auto da fé, a religious spectacle in which "heretics" were publicly tried, tortured and ultimately killed, dramatically brings to life the religious insanity then prevalent, and makes clear the fear in which so many secret Jews lived, then, and for generations thereafter.
