Eirinie Carson, THE DEAD ARE GODS

Zibby interviews British debut author and model Eirinie Carson about The Dead Are Gods, a raw, striking, and beautifully intimate new memoir–a love letter and time capsule– that explores grief, Blackness, and recovery after the death of her dearest friend Larissa. Eirinie describes what Larissa was like and reveals how a never-ending eulogy, essays she wrote to process her grief, and emails unexpectedly turned into a book. She also describes the novel she is working on now (it involves postpartum and murder!), balancing writing and motherhood, her hopes to normalize grief, and her participation in Zibby’s Wine Country Retreat in September.
