Writing a Path Out of Darkness: Writers on Mourning
Pik-Shuen Fung, Kristin Keane, Litt Woon Long, Deirdre English These authors give voice to the unspeakable parts of grief. The protagonist of Pik-Shuen Fung’s “Ghost Forest” navigates her father’s death in a family that doesn’t talk about feelings. In “The Encyclopedia of Bending Time,” memoirist Kristin Keane uses an encyclopedic format to grieve her mother. And Litt Woon Long’s “The Way Through the Woods” wends a path through mushroom-foraging as a way to process loss.
