CHAPTER

Rituals of Grief and Vengeance

This chapter investigates the emotional landscape of a new novel centered on a grieving son and his friends as they navigate themes of loss, masculinity, and the quest for justice. It highlights the impact of a mother's death on their relationships, while also addressing the societal pressures that can lead to reckless decisions shaped by male ego and loyalty. The discussion intertwines real-life events, such as the aftermath of Hurricane Maria, with cultural narratives to provoke reflection on disaster, identity, and community resilience.
