If I Survive You by Jonathan Escoffery
4.0
first 2023 booker prize nominee... and it slayed
---
#37 of 2023 and my FIRST #BookerwithBay (!!!) from the 2023 longlist – If I Survive You by Jonathan Escoffery.
⭐⭐⭐⭐
(4.5)
If I Survive You is a collection of interconnected short stories primarily following a Jamaican immigrant family in Miami as they navigate political turmoil, economic recession, institutionalized racism, personal identity, and natural disasters. Oooof! It’s a relentless and rather bleak portrayal of life in America and damn was it powerful.
