It's Little Reviews time, and today we're whipping through a whopping SIX BOOKS, all of which sit in that emotionally rich and tender space of the aftermath – specifically, the aftermath of the death of a loved one, including:
- The Furrows by Namwali Serpell
- We Are Okay by Nina LaCour
- In Love: A Memoir of Love and Lossby Amy Bloom
- Afterglow (a dog memoir)by Eileen Myles
- Alive at the End of the World by Saeed Jones (one of our April ABC picks!)
- The Death of Vivek Oji by Akwaeke Emezi
A NOTE ON CONTENT & SPOILERS
I highly encourage you to look into content warnings for every book I discuss before you pick it up; we want reading to be safe for everyone. <3
I refuse to spoil plot, but I do talk about what you can glean from the book jacket, authorial and narrative choices, formal elements, and my overall impressions and takeaways. If you're wary of getting spoiled on *anything,* then maybe bookmark this episode and come back when you've read the books herein.
Take care, keep creating, and stay divine!
