One of the Best Books for Young Adults of 2020, as chosen by Kirkus Reviews A provocative collection of narrative essays with a unique point of view. In this book a first generation American New Yorker uses her bold voice to share life experiences through the lens of race, culture, and spirituality. Exploring topics ranging from night terrors, to schizophrenia, to gentrification, to the author’s personal September 11th story. Illustrated with stunning artwork created in response to the essays, this book is a unique collection.
"Redux's ethereal ability to share her perspective and empower others creates a space in which everyone will benefit from reading her work"—Starred Review, School Library Journal "Redux’s use of frank, sometimes-biting, but consistently thoughtful language, coupled with her openness about her own life stories and lessons learned, shows that she is anything but stupid. McCarthy’s illustrations—her visual responses to Redux’s words—add another layer for consideration to this thought-provoking work. An important and eye-opening contribution to conversations about global identity politics." —Kirkus Reviews
