Zaji Cox

Plums for Months (eBook, ePUB)

Memories of a wonder-filled, neurodivergent childhood

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

• Portland, Oregon, is the whitest city in the U.S. per capita. There aren't many Black authors who have written about growing up in the area, so Zaji's memoir fills a significant market gap.
• Zaji's childhood in a low-income, single-parent household isn't filled with trauma and loss; it's full of imagination and curiosity.
• Zaji's story of being autistic will relate to others with neurodifferences.
• The prose is poetic and concise, making for a fast but impactful read.
• As we as a society have been grappling with a pandemic and massive losses, this book arrives as a balmsweet and satisfying, not terrible or scary.
• Zaji has been involved with the Corporeal Writing group run by Lidia Yuknavitch and she has a lot of literary connections through Corporeal.
• In addition to being a writer, Zaji is a dancer, a model, and an artist, qualities that shine through Plums for Months and make it a more visceral read.
