Natasha Trethewey was born in Mississippi in the 60s to a black
mother and a white father. When she was six, Natasha's parents
divorced, and she and her mother moved to Atlanta. There, her
mother met the man who would become her second husband, and
Natasha's stepfather. While she was still a child, Natasha decided
that she would not tell her mother about what her stepfather did
when she was not there: the quiet bullying and control, the games
of cat and mouse. Her mother kept her own secrets, secrets that
grew harder to hide as Natasha came of age. When Natasha was
nineteen and away at college, her stepfather shot her mother dead
on the driveway outside their home. With penetrating insight and a
searing voice that moves from the wrenching to the elegiac,
Memorial Drive is a compelling and searching look at a shared human
experience of sudden loss and absence, and a piercing glimpse at
the enduring ripple effects of white racism and domestic abuse.
Luminous, urgent, and visceral, it cements Trethewey's position as
one of the most important voices in America today.
