Description
About the Book
"The unflinching Pulitzer Prize-winning essay on mourning and recovery in the wake of an inconceivable tragedy. When Bobby McIlvaine died in the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001, his loved ones spun off in radically different directions, each mourning in his or her own distinct--and often highly idiosyncratic--way. Twenty years later, Jennifer Senior, a family friend and award-winning reporter, revisits the McIlvaines, examines their present lives, and contemplates what grief really means, in all its jagged complexity"--Page 4 of cover.Book Synopsis
A Pulitzer Prize-winning portrait of one family's search for meaning in the face of unspeakable loss. An Atlantic Edition, featuring long-form journalism by Atlantic writers, drawn from contemporary articles or classic storytelling from the magazine's 165-year archive. In this Pulitzer Prize-winning work, Jennifer Senior explores the contours of grief through one family's twenty-year reckoning with the loss of their son, Bobby McIlvaine Jr., on September 11, 2001. Devastating and expansive, Senior's portrait examines her own relationship with the McIlvaine family alongside intimate scenes of both mourning and recovery experienced by Bobby's mother, father, younger brother, and soon-to-be fiancée. On Grief generously asks us what it means to consider grief, both personal and national, as an ongoing project.Review Quotes
