How it’s not as simple as just moving on, nor should it be. How we remember, or try not to forget the ones we lose. It reflects on how different people deal with loss in different ways. It is the portrayal of a man and his two kids just learning how to cope with losing his wife and their mother. I’m never sure what exactly the author means, but I almost always can feel what book is trying to say.Īs much as the prose is imaginative and weird, the story itself is really simple. It is a very real snapshot of the unreality of losing someone unexpectedly. It is harsh and poetic and weird and beautiful. Grief Is The Thing With Feathers by Max Porter (audiobook narrated brilliantly by Jot Davies) is a constant assault on the mind. This wonderful, wonderful book is one of the best portrayals of grief and loss I have come across and has crept up into the list of my favorite books. I myself have a fairly well-defined idea of what I think of grieving, but I’m always curious by how a piece of fiction tackles the process. – it transcends all sorts of segregations and boundaries. I think grief is one of the most universal concepts in the world. It feels weird to say out loud or write about, but I think I am fascinated by loss and grief.
