This “inventive, poetic, vulnerable, and sincere” book from an acclaimed author and poet weaves two wrenching personal narratives of recovery and reclamation, spliced with a dazzle of pop-culture (Kirkus).The Dead Don’t Need Reminding is a braided story of Julian Randall’s return from the cliff edge of a harrowing depression and his determination to retrace the hustle of a white-passing grandfather to the Mississippi town from which he was driven amid threats of tar and feather.
Alternatively wry, lyrical, and heartfelt, Randall transforms pop culture moments into deeply personal explorations of grief, family, and the American way.
He envisions his fight to stay alive through a striking medley of media ranging from
Into the Spiderverse and Jordan Peele movies to
BoJack Horseman and the music of Odd Future. Pulsing with life, sharp, and wickedly funny,
The Dead Don’t Need Reminding is Randall’s journey to get his ghost story back.
