Description

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 Okayby 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 Worldby Saeed Jones (one of our April ABC picks!)
• The Death of Vivek Ojiby 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!
