Summary:  "A moving reflection on a subject that touches us all, by the author of Claire of the Sea Light. This is at once a personal account of her mother dying from cancer and a deeply considered reckoning with the ways that other writers have approached death in their work. "Writing has been the primary way I have tried to make sense of my losses," Danticat notes in her introduction. "I have been writing about death for as long as I have been writing." The book moves outward from the shock of her mother's diagnosis and sifts through Danticat's writing life and personal history, shifting fluidly from examples that range from Gabriel García Márquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude to Toni Morrison's Sula. The narrative, which continually circles the many incarnations of death from individual to large-scale catastrophes, culminates in a beautiful, heartrending prayer in the voice of Danticat's mother. Born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Edwidge Danticat is a Haitian-American novelist and short story writer. She is the author of the novel Claire of the Sea Light and the memoir Brother, I'm Dying"--Provided by publisher.
