Reviews
Natasha Trethewey is a Pulitzer Prize-winning poet whose work staggers my heart...This is one of the most beautiful memoirs I have ever read...[A] stunning and important book., In Memorial Drive, Natasha Trethewey has transformed unimaginable tragedy into a work of sublimity. There's sorrow and heartbreak, yes, but also a beautiful portrait of a mother and her daughter's enduring love. Trethewey writes elegantly, trenchantly, intimately as well about the fraught history of the south and what it means live at the intersection of America's struggle between blackness and whiteness. And what, in our troubled republic, is a subject more evergreen?, I guarantee you've never read a book like this and you will never forget it. . . . An absolutely harrowing story but written with the intensity and beauty of a poem. It is an amazing book., "In Memorial Drive, Natasha Trethewey has transformed unimaginable tragedy into a work of sublimity.

Trethewey writes elegantly, trenchantly, intimately as well about the fraught history of the south and what it means live at the intersection of America's struggle between blackness and whiteness. And what, in our troubled republic, is a subject more evergreen?" - Mitchell S. Jackson, author of Survival Math "Haunting, powerful, and painfully stunning, Memorial Drive is one of the best memoirs I've read in a long time. A brilliant storyteller, Trethewey writes the unimaginable truth with a clear-eyed courage that proves, once again, that she's one of the nation's best writers." - Ada Limón, author of Bright Dead Things and NBCC award-winner The Carrying "Beautifully composed, achingly sad...This profound story of the horrors of domestic abuse and a daughter's eternal love for her mother will linger long after the book's last page is turned." - Publishers Weekly "[A] graceful, moving memoir...Delicate prose distinguishes a narrative of tragedy and grief." - Kirkus Reviews "A moving, heartbreaking memoir about a traumatic event and the path to healing." - Library Journal "Natasha Trethewey has composed a riveting memoir that reads like a detective story about her mother's murder by a malevolent ex-husband. It reads with all the poise and clarity of Trethewey's unforgettable poetry--heartrending without a trace of pathos, wise and smart at once, unforgettable. The short section her mother penned as she was trying to escape the marriage moved me to tears. I read the book in one gulp and expect to reread it more than once. A must-read classic." - Mary Karr, author of The Liars' Club; Cherry; and Lit "A meditation on race, and class, and grief. Uplifting, surprisingly, at the end of it. But just wrenching." - Barack Obama, as recommended to listeners on "The Ezra Klein Show" "A meditation on race, and class, and grief. Uplifting, surprisingly, at the end of it. But just wrenching." - Barack Obama, as recommended to listeners on "The Ezra Klein Show" podcast "A meditation on race, and class, and grief. Uplifting, surprisingly, at the end of it. But just wrenching." - Barack Obama "Nothing [Trethewey] has written drills down into her past, and her family's, as powerfully as Memorial Drive. It is a controlled burn of chaos and intellection; it is a memoir that will really lay you out.... This is a book with a slow, steady build. This is restraint in service to release....Even though you intuit what is coming, the moment you learn of Gwendolyn's death is as stunning as the moment when Anna Magnani is shot in the street in Roberto Rossellini's Rome, Open City." - New York Times "I guarantee you've never read a book like this and you will never forget it. . . . An absolutely harrowing story but written with the intensity and beauty of a poem. It is an amazing book." - George Stephanopoulos, Good Morning America "Like the very best contemporary memoirs, this book will swallow you whole and spit you out hours later, shaken and moved." - Slate "Truly a work of genius." - Los Angeles Times "Inspiring and quite heartbreaking. . . . [Memorial Drive is] also a story of love and resilience." - Harlan Coben, Today Show "Memorial Drive is a literary marvel that marries grief and murder mystery." - Harvard Review

Synopsis
A chillingly personal and exquisitely wrought memoir of a daughter reckoning with the brutal murder of her mother at the hands of her former stepfather, and the moving, intimate story of a poet coming into her own in the wake of a tragedyAt age nineteen, Natasha Trethewey had her world turned upside down when her former stepfather shot and killed her mother. Grieving and still new to adulthood, she confronted the twin pulls of life and death in the aftermath of unimaginable trauma and now explores the way this experience lastingly shaped the artist she became. With penetrating insight and a searing voice that moves from the wrenching to the elegiac, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Natasha Trethewey explores this profound experience of pain, loss, and grief as an entry point into understanding the tragic course of her mother's life and the way her own life has been shaped by a legacy of fierce love and resilience. Moving through her mother's history in the deeply segregated South and through her own girlhood as a "child of miscegenation" in Mississippi, Trethewey plumbs her sense of dislocation and displacement in the lead-up to the harrowing crime that took place on Memorial Drive in Atlanta in 1985. Memorial Drive is a compelling and searching look at a shared human experience of sudden loss and absence but also a piercing glimpse at the enduring ripple effects of white racism and domestic abuse. Animated by unforgettable prose and inflected by a poet's attention to language, this is a luminous, urgent, and visceral memoir from one of our most important contemporary writers and thinkers., An Instant New York Times Bestseller A New York Times Notable Book One of Barack Obama's Favorite Books of 2020 Named One of the Best Books of the Year by: The Washington Post, NPR, Shelf Awareness, Esquire, Electric Literature, Slate, The Los Angeles Times, USA Today, and InStyle A chillingly personal and exquisitely wrought memoir of a daughter reckoning with the brutal murder of her mother at the hands of her former stepfather, and the moving, intimate story of a poet coming into her own in the wake of a tragedy At age nineteen, Natasha Trethewey had her world turned upside down when her former stepfather shot and killed her mother.
