Jesmyn Ward Is In Her Own Lane

Welcome back to The League of Extraordinary Readers! 📚✨

This week, we're discussing On Witness and Respair by Jesmyn Ward and exploring how grief, memory, and personal history shape literature and our understanding of ourselves. We also dive into fascinating conversations about time perception, CERN's recent scientific developments, neurodivergence, and the cyclical nature of history. If you love Black literature, literary fiction, thought-provoking book discussions, and conversations that connect books to the world around us, this episode is for you.
