Obituary
"Hache was someone who held onto his work - he held onto a lot of things about himself- until I could find a way to get it from him."
Herman was chairman of the literary PEN/Faulkner Foundation and a beloved storyteller, telling kaleidoscopic fiction that plumbed the meaning of the Cuban American experience he said he lived. It wasn't until his death, a week before his 60th birthday that Carrillo's fans, friends and husband learned his true identity - a man from Michigan, born i Detroit, with no known Latino heritage.
He was 59.
