Sing Unburied Sing: Grief and Love
In this episode Jade summarizes and discusses one of her favorite works of Literary Fiction, Sing Unburied Sing, by Jesmyn Ward.
In Sing, Unburied, Sing, a young boy named Jojo and his sister Kayla, accompany their neglectful mother Leonie on a road trip to pickup their father from Parchman Prison. Upon their return, Jojo finds what it means to face death like a man, begins to understand his grief addled mother, and learns the story of his Pop's greatest act of shame and mercy.
Expect some fangirling, a lot of excerpts, and a story about family, trauma, history, death, love, oh, and coming of age of course!
Jade really recommends you read it. And if you can't, take a listen!
