Men We Reaped by Jesmyn Ward

challenging dark emotional sad tense medium-paced

4.75

I'd call this a memoir with a purpose which is something that's right up my alley, but this one was a little difficult to keep straight. The bouncing back and forth between personal stories and memories of the men who died just for a bit confusing in audiobook form. But it was incredibly powerful and raw. Jesmyn really doesn't pull any punches in her writing.

This book isn’t easy to read but it’s still something we all need to read. Jesamyn takes us through stories of men from her life, family and friends, who have lost their lives too early. It examines being a Black man in America, particularly the south. This book has been on my radar for years and I’m glad I finally took the time to read it.
